As we waited at the U.S.-Canadian border, I mindlessly challenged Jamie to a thumb war and he beat me.

I’m terrible with a map and have zero sense of direction. That said, I did rather well with the GPS on my phone during this trip and started boasting about it to Jamie.
“Maybe I’m not so bad with directions. I think I can do the ‘Amazing Race’ after all.”
“Amber, if you were to do the ‘Amazing Race,’ they’d have to rename the show ‘LOST.’”
