When Ward and I first started dating, we had very different methods for preparing for car trips. I would pack everything the night before except what I needed to get ready in the morning (and even those items were compiled and ready). I would fill up the car with gas the night before and get straight up that morning and leave town swiftly.
Ward *might* get out his suitcase the night before. He would get up in the morning, shower, and then sit down to watch tv or play on his computer until 15 minutes before we were scheduled to leave the house when he would start packing. The car would always be on empty and he wanted to stop for breakfast or coffee on out way out of town. When I would try to hurry him along he would say "but you said we were leaving at x time so I still have 20 minutes." This drove me absolutely crazy and we have since reached a compromise, but I started many a car trips frustrated in those early days.
Colin clearly takes after his Daddy in this area. I can picture him right now, chillin in the womb, playing with his toes saying "but you said I had until May 25th so I still have two days."
