The drive home was long. Susan fell in and out of sleep throughout the journey.
When the car finally pulled into the driveway, Susan groggily opened her eyes. "Are we there yet?" She asked with a yawn. Susan's mother turned to look at her daughter as she parked the car.
"Yes. We are home."
Susan unbuckled her seat belt and climb out of the car. It had been a long week of camping. Surprisingly, Susan had come to the decision that her cousin Tiffany was actually alright. She still wouldn't be Susan's first choice to hang out with, but camping would have been much more boring without her.
Susan got her bag from the trunk. Susan's mother looked down at her. "See? Camping wasn't so bad." Susan's mother said, eyes soft as she smiled. Susan rolled her eyes and held back a sigh.
"I still wouldn't choose it over hanging out with my friends." Susan grumbled. Then the corner of her mouth twitched. "But I suppose it wasn't a completely wasted week."
Susan's mother gave a quiet chuckle. "You still have the rest of the summer to do what you want." After giving her daughter's head a pat, Susan's mother headed toward the house with her bag.
Brushing off her hair with a hand, Susan headed after her mother. As she lugged her bag through the doorway, Susan was glad to finally be home.
