Worst Vacation Ever

Okay, I shouldn't say ever because there's a lot more vacations out there for me to experience. I guess I will call it the worst vacation to date.
Driving out to Idaho with my mom and the kids and my tail light cover falls off. Luckily I was able to pull over and didn't have to walk too far to find it on the side of the road. It was still in one piece with minor scratches, so I tossed it in the back of the van and kept going. I knew I'd jinxed myself when I said, "well if that's the worst thing that's going to happen on this trip, I'll take it."
Day 2 at my mom's, Jaycee throws up all morning.
The day we're supposed to go to Island Park for our family reunion, I take my van in to get the light cover put back on. The guy assures me it will take no more than 45 minutes, so I wait. and wait. and wait. 2 1/2 hours later I finally go to see if it's about done. My paperwork is sitting right there and the guy says, "oh, yeah, not sure when that got done." At least he knocked $20 off the bill.
Get lost going to Island Park. Ended up on the top of a hill in the middle of nowhere next to a transfer station. Anyone who knows me should realize how easy it is for me to get lost, even with the GPS.
Jaycee gets sick the second night there...I'm sensing a pattern. My nephew gets sick, my brother gets sick, etc.
Get sent to my room by my father for swearing. Yep, I'm 34 years old and my dad still tries to send me to my room.
Family still getting sick including Cameron. The total count to date I think is 12 out of 29. Not good odds.
Spent 3 out of 4 days stuck inside with sickness.
Feel like crap the last day there, finally get my turn for the porcelain throne early Monday morning.
Cameron is still sick the night we leave for home. Got a late start both days.
Second day of return trip and we get a flat tire somewhere in Kansas. I had just finished talking to Mike telling him how boring the drive through Kansas is. I can't say that anymore!

At least you didn't have to worry about your daughter being sick all the way through Yellowstone.
