The McLaughlin Family Road Trip was not just a road trip. It was also a reminder to everyone in our family that when you loose everything else in life you always have family. On this trip our goal was to not only successfully make it from coast to coast, but to really bond as a family and spend time together. I think that we successfully complete this as well as making it coast to coast. To me this trip has been the experience of a lifetime. In any of our entire lives none of us will be able to spend this quality time together ever again, and I think that we spent it in the best way! My most favorite part of this trip was probably all of it because as long as I was with the people that I love the most I was happy. Although we did not always agree and we picked fights, we defiantly still love each other and I could not imagine this AMAZING experience with any other people in the entire world. Even though the trip is over and we have to go home, I will always remember the many memories and I can't wait to see the memories that we make in the future with my family.
