We are home from our unexpected trip to Southern California. You think I would be prepared for this trip since we travel so much. I mean, we had a 10 night camping trip this summer! But, no matter how well the Princess and I travel - it was miserable! I can't lie.Actually my Princess may have done better than I did. She slept a lot and watched her personal DVD player.
