Do you mean "my family" as in traveling with your parents and siblings? I just narrowly survived a roadtrip with my parents to Alberta myself. In order to save money I ended up sharing various hotel rooms with them. I paid my own way of course but Jesus, here I am, I'm 36 friggin years old and I still have to sleep on a goddamned cot! Not only that but my father suffers from a very severe case of sleep apnea - he snores so loud its almost unbelievable! Thank god I brought along my earplugs! Besides that, my parents have a thing about air conditioning at night time! Oh well, this is probably one of the last times that I'll ever travel with them. At least I did witness some amazing spectacles like coming across no fewer than 8 different forest fires and an outbreak of pestilence in Alberta. We're talking locusts here - zillions of them - in some areas over 200 per square meter! At times while we were tavelling just north of Rocky mountain House, it appeared to be snowing! Green snow as in grasshoppers! The little buggers! In regards to a mini ice age, you should have spent the last few winters out here on the west coast where it hardly snowed at all except for a few anomalies! Not like back in the late sixties (and earlier) when we used to enjoy a huge dumping of snow! And we are talking well over two feet during a single snow storm!

Hello there, I'm back from holiday too. Camping in Gaspésie (eastern Québec) under the rain with my wife, her 7 yo son and our little 4 months old little guy, and visiting Ottawa in the sun, coming back home just before the black-out.
It's back to work now, with billions of e-mail to look at, and tons of paperwork to catch up. Sweet.
I survived 7 hours with my family on the 401 highway in a van during rolling blackouts (or whatever the hell that power grid disturbance was). Although I was tempted I did not push anyone out on to the side of the road. I deserve many beers.

Yes... it's only after spending long periods of time with your family that you realise why you only do things like that once or twice a year...
