The particular traveling lesson that I was referring to is eating snacks while traveling. We get in the car...even just to go to town...and my children think they need to have a snack! So, imagine what a trip to Utah is like. I recall Mom making the observation one time while driving somewhere with me...my children were "hungry," supposedly, and complainging that they needed something to eat. She said, "Well, they've been trained in true Grandma Rita fashion!" We didn't travel anywhere without having a little something to munch along the way. I suppose it makes the time go faster. So, here's to Grandma and her travel snacks! Long live travel snacks!

P.S. I also remember the boys having to walk for what seemed like a really long way (mostly because they were slow and I wanted to get on with it already). I must say, in Dad's defense, that they were given more than fair warning. I never questioned my dad's honesty...you don't have to spank me twice for me to know it hurts...some, unfortunately, were not that bright...
