Summer was rapidly approaching, which means we would soon embark on our annual trip to Mammoth. My beautiful wife, Melanie, has difficulty saying no whether it be at work to her boss or to family and friends. Consequently, she has been overworked and a bit stressed lately. I wanted to do something special by taking over the planning for our trip. I willingly admit without a moment's hesitation that I am forgetful and tend to procrastinate (the love of my life affectionately refers to me as the forgetful procrastinator). This time it worked in my favor to mask what was sure to be an unforgettable surprise for her and the kids. A week before our planned departure, I received a warm questioning of my progress followed by a stern warning and reminder from Melanie to secure a dog sitter. I assured her that I would lock it down the next day.

Fast forward...it's Friday morning. Bags loaded, wife in the passenger seat with our trusty travel (survival) kit of snacks, DVDs and games and kids harnessed in the back by safety belts with Roxy in my daughter's lap. We’re finally off to Mammoth! As I turn onto the freeway on ramp, my wife calmly asks "So honey, which dog sitter are we dropping Roxy off at?" To which I smoothly reply, "I thought we'd put the kids in charge of Roxy this weekend. You know, teach them some responsibility." From the driver's seat I could almost feel my kids' ears perk up in the back, as well as Roxy's. Trying to contain her own excitement, Melanie asks "What do you mean?" To which I say, "Looks like your forgetful procrastinator was able to rent a pet friendly unit. No man, woman, child or dog left behind. Roxy is coming with us!" Good thing my hands were at 10 and 2, because the eruption of pure joy that erupted was enough to shake our SUV. A passerby would've thought I just won 'Father of the Year' honors. Even if I didn't, it sure felt like I did. The look of happiness, relief and relaxation on my wife's face was priceless. It was a perfect start to a beautiful weekend and the beginning of a new tradition of family vacations that truly included the entire family.
