Road Trip

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

From Wednesday Mom – Janelle:
Last weekend my husband and I finally narrowed down dates for our big summer road trip.  The trip will start in Mississippi, then on to Pennsylvania for a week,  DC for a night,  North Carolina for a week and back to Mississippi.  We’ll be packing up the minivan with massive amounts of clothing, toys, food, baby gear, movies and 101 items that we most likely won’t use.

At times I think we’re crazy for driving all those miles, but we are excited for the adventure.  We are getting Jack excited by showing him all the different states we’ll be driving through.  We are going to try to find an interesting stopping point in each state.   Keeping his interest on the next stop will hopefully keep him from throwing a tantrum.  Tate, on the other hand, will be a little more of a handful.  Fortunately, he likes to ride in the car and look out his window.  Hmmm…I wonder how long that fascination will last.

I look forward to our summer vacation and the chance to visit with our family and friends back home.  Being far away makes seeing everyone that more special.  Time to get a move on finding the right toys to keep the kiddos occupied.  Any suggestions are welcome!
