It was awful

Yeah, it really was and it looked like a scene from a cartoon, a large black swarm of mosquitos attacking the poor hapless tourists.  We stopped at a rest area to change drivers and walk the dogs.  We got out of the car and they attacked.  We ran back to the car, slammed the doors, and there they were, in the car with us!
Don't tell me I overpack, I grabbed the insect repellent and sprayed us and the dogs, then took a towel and began swatting.  Hope they don't follow us.
(to my kids:  this scene was also in The Bear's Picnic, remember it?)

Yikes! You obviously didn't finish reading the book. Stay home!...it's the perfect picnic spot!

Remember when we went to the cow farm in germany and had to leave the back door open in the car so the flys would get out of the car....ewe!

I'm so impressed that you remembered that. You were so young when that happened.
