Sure, we all try-every year-and you have some good to great ones, but not perfect.  In going through our YouTube Channel the other night we came across one time...when we were perfect.

It was mid-December.  We picked him up from school (it was our first day of vacation), and what you see is what immediately followed in  our living room.

We left later that night, and had the trip of a lifetime.
