The Ultimate Trip

SCENE: Jonathan and Leslie, sitting down to a dinner of cheese fondue in a little cabin at Meeman Shelby Forrest State Park. Earlier in the evening, the couple had made it a little less than halfway to the park when Leslie realized that she had left the ingredients for the cheese fondue at the house. They turned around, because what is a little cabin in the woods without some cheese fondue? The habit of forgetting something on a trip, whether a simple errand or an extended vacation, is a regular one for Leslie.

LESLIE: Sorry again that we had to turn around for the cheese. But this sure is worth it!

JONATHAN: No problem... (as he shoves a cheese-laden hunk of bread into his mouth)

LESLIE: (with enthusiasm) Someday, we are going to go on a trip and I am not going to forget one thing. Not one. And we will take a picture. Because that will be a big day.

JONATHAN: (with total seriousness) That will be death. The ultimate trip.

LESLIE: (nearly choking on her bite, she proceeds to laugh for five minutes straight while pondering how much she loves Jonathan's inadvertent sense of humor)

That is incredibly funny and sounds like it was a great trip. I've been wanting to go on a lodge/state park trip and your post, as well as some others talking about such trips, are making me want to go even more!
