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!
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.
