Poem
Left my computer on Grabbed the keys off my desk Packed up the RV And we headed out West We grabbed some snacks Toys, clothes and some cash turned out the lights, Fed the pets Shot out the door, dumped the trash Kids were excited You could hear them say Singing this chant the entire way Are we there yet Are we there yet What do you mean There's no internet Day one Was So much fun We walked on the beach Not far to reach We Played in the sand Crashed in the waves The view was amazing Saw the Sea Lion Caves Kids were excited You could hear them say Singing this chant the entire way Yuck, what's that smell Yuck, what's that smell Why are we here Where the Sea Lions dwell Days 2 and 3 Were better than most Spending these days Out here on the coast A town called Newport Is the place where we stayed All of our neighbors had one foot in the grave We played in the water Saw a lighthouse Swam in a pool I walked with my spouse After two days It was time to move on Put it in drive Just like that, we were gone Kids were excited You could hear them say Singing this chant the entire way It's so cold It's so cold Where is the sun Can’t we go, somewhere fun Days 4 and 5 What a beautiful drive Drove up the 101 To continue our run Put her in park At Thousand trails Pacific city Never fails Mini golf And an indoor pool Spotty Wi-Fi So the kids they were cool When we got to the beach We ran up the shore Having a blast Can’t wait to have more Kids were excited You could hear them say Singing this chant The entire way This trail is so long This trail is so long What did I do What did I do wrong Day 6 and day 7 The end’s within reach A little more North Toward Cannon Beach A new campground Our most rustic site But with just our luck The place was just right The RV backed in Right up to a pasture Where horses could scamper And bunnies would scatter Ran to the beach With our snacks and my board I carried it all To keep family accord We surfed till we were numb And a mouthful full of salt The kids were all freezing "Dad, this is all your fault." Now we're all headed home I want to cry, I want to sob Our normal routine Back to school and my job Finally, an end To the fighting, complaining Back to the house Back to work and the raining Kids were excited You could hear them say Singing this chant the entire way We're so glad We're so glad That was the best trip that we've ever had Love you mom Love you dad
