Road Trip

So we took a road trip with 2 out of 3 kids…we left the middle one with grandma…YES, I do feel guilty about it! Even with the other 2 it took us almost 6 hours for a 4 hour trip…

Travelling with kids is a bit of a challenge…what to back?…how much to pack?….should we even go?? We decided to leave home at noon, we took the kids to grandma’s house early in the morning so we could have enough time to pack. By 1pm we were ready to leave the house…by 2pm we were pulling out of the driveway…by 2:30pm we were ready to leave grandma’s house with the 2 kids…wait, we forgot something at home…by 3pm we were again pulling out of the driveway… So its 3pm and we’re leaving home, the ‘almost’ 2 year old is alseep so he doesn’t know that we are leaving, and the 3 year old is extremely excited about his trip.

After 3 hours of driving, the 3 year old declares that he would like to go back home and sleep! At 9pm we finally get here, as my husband makes the 3rd trip up to the room, the lady at the front desk comments that we have a lot of stuff! Meanwhile, in the room, 3 year old is bouncing from one side of the room to the next, I am ready to just drop, the baby needs to be fed…and wait a minute…what about dinner?!?
