It was worth it, though. Chris' grandmother passed away last week and we wanted to attend the funeral because she meant so much to us. This is the spouse of the grandfather who passed away just two months ago, and we were all happy that she did not have to live to long without him. We'll miss Grandma Katie!

I can relate with you on that! We just drove 31 hours with a very sick 2 year old and a 2 month old. Not the funnest thing I've ever done! Sorry you had to go through that!
