This is big, right?

Going to a family thing that's in town and you don't have to take time off work for is one thing, right? But taking several days off work and traveling across the country for a family thing is a whole different thing, isn't it? And if it's a family wedding rather than a family picnic, that makes a difference too, doesn't it?

This is going to be a whole fun experience and I'm suddenly a lot more excited about taking this trip myself because I won't be doing it by myself.
