Yes, we're nuts and this should not be news to those of you who know us! Due to airfare being so expensive, we opted to drive to St. Louis for a family gathering. Door to door, it's about 8 hours with one stop. It took about 9.5 hours to get there and about 8.5 to return home. Sofia did not appreciate the car seat as expected and Sam was edgy so I ended up in the back seat smushed between the two car seats for most of the trip both ways. Other than a couple of bathroom breaks, we only had one stop (McDonalds with a PlayPlace, of course.) Mom finally had an idea to keep Sam entertained while Sofie slept on the return trip by using our imaginations! We took a magic carpet to Egypt since she's been learning about ancient Egypt in preschool.
Here's a strange tidbit... both times we stopped at McDonalds there was the same girl that Sam and Sofie got to play with. How weird is that? Dorie, we'll never forget you and thanks for playing!
These were taken at the beginning of the trip home. I love the expressions here...
Shana Tova!
