Chris watched as everyone packed up the truck for the weekend getaway. They had been waiting for six months to finally go to the lake. This was the longest they had ever gone without a trip there, but due to the storms last winter the cabin had needed a lot of repairs. None of his family was really all that handy so they had to hire a crew to fix it up. In the process a few things had been upgraded so it was going to be extra fun. They had planned on a four day weekend.

“How much longer till we get there.” Liz complained from the back seat. She was always the first one to ask how much longer.

“You have been plenty of times and know how long it will take to get there. I don’t know why you always ask.” Boris says from next to her. He normally drove but since he had hurt his back the week before he was not really in any condition to drive. Liz was in the third row with her brother Nick. Boris sat next yo his wife Juliet and there other son Ralph. Sara there only daughter sat in the back with Liz and Nick. Anna had not said anything since they had left. She did not talk much in general but was even more silent on road trips. What no one knew was that this was going to be a trip they did not soon forget. Slowly the city began to fade behind them and and country took over.
