DAY ONE: Tuesday 17 August 2010.
The wife, the child, the brother, the sister, the niece, and I decide to take a road trip together. We are following a loose path that my siblings and I traversed with the parents 32 years prior. The brother vaguely remembers the previous trip; the sister has no recollection, being too young; I remember large pieces of it vividly.
The six of us leave at midnight, rather than 6:00 a.m., to fend off anticipation and excitement, as well as drive in the dark. Three states (Washington, Idaho, and Montana), many rest stops, and about fourteen hours later, we arrive in Billings, Montana.
We eat, we swim in the hotel pool, we retire early.
Road Trip 2010 has begun.
