Scenes from a Road Trip

4:00 am: Pitch black. Chatty children. Excitement mounting. The road trip has begun!

6:30 am: Children are sound asleep in the back, heads to the side and mouths open. Husband is listening to comedy Pandora station. The sky is lightening. Coffee is needed. 

9:30 am: Frozen soundtrack playing. Everyone appears happy. Chocolate chip cookies all around!

12:00 pm: My turn to drive. Time to catch up on Serial and What Should I Read Next podcasts. Naps, please!

4:00 pm: The boys took turns napping while the two-year-old did NOT nap. The kids are getting restless. Jack keeps complaining about being hungry. We should probably stop for dinner soon.

5:00 pm: I am sick of being in the car.

6:30 pm: I am REALLY sick of being in the car. Trying to listen to the Wisconsin basketball game, I keep hearing complaints about not sharing the iPad mixed in with, “How much longer?” every few minutes. “Daddy is trying to listen to the game!” My husband hollers to the backseat. Someone get me out of this car.

7:30 pm: Almost there. It’s been a long day.


8:00 pm: We have arrived! It’s a flurry of cousins! Everyone is so excited to be here! Yay!

  1. Anticipation so high in the beginning, then tiredness sets in leading to are we there yet syndrome. What a trip! Let your memories of traveling be erased by the fun with the cousins.
