I think it’s a sign that you’ve got a group of amazing friends when you look over your vacation photos and recognize that you’ve made even the mundane parts of the trip fun. Things like:

Picking burrs out of the carpet!

Going to Costco!

Waiting for a friend to finish up at a gift shop!

Not pictured: The three minutes we spent on the path to the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center when we finally figured out we’d need to buy an overpriced “Discover” pass but by the time we turned around to get it, the place would be closed.
