We drove from 2:15 this afternoon until 11:30 tonight... We arrived not only in one piece, but somehow happily and mostly still sane. My girls were amazingly awesome on this trip... Holding on to the hope of seeing their cousins and family SOON!!!
We survived five states and about one hundred songs, stories, games, and a seriously minor case of the whinings or the flat-out blues!
P & i even managed to listen to some comics on the radio while the kids played some games!
And how well the hours in the car paid off!!! Although the cousins were asleep when we got here (they thankfully don't have M's & my genetics...), we had a warm welcome (filled with pint glasses of cold welcoming beverages) from aunt j and uncle m! B went straight to bed, but M relaxed, played, and enjoyed the adults to herself!
My sister and i had conversations that just can't be justified over the phone- making me miss ber that much alreafy (even though we just arrived and aren't even leaving for a few days...)
I love when we're homeward bound, the excitement of the road trip all around. But there is nothing nicer than pulling into this driveway, being welcomed at the door, and sitting down to real live family life! Thank you, God, for my family! Thank you for getting us home to them tonight!
