Our First Road Trip

2 weekends ago we took a road trip to Columbus, Ohio. We were there to go to James' birthday party and hang out with the family. It was a 3 nights/4 days type of trip. We left Saturday at 11:30 a.m. and got there a little before midnight. It took us 9 hours/15 minutes of driving, 2 rest stops, 3 states over, and a total of 12 hours of traveling all together for us to get there. Let me just say . . . . . it was a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong drive!! After all that time in the car, I've come to realize "I don't think I can ever drive across country . . . . I would go crazy!!"

Anyways, the kids were fairly good during our drive to Ohio. Alerina slept about 7 hours of the 9 hours of driving and Sebastian entertained himself by singing, talking to us, counting the cones/the bridges that we past by, or by just looking out the window. He did get a tad bit antsy at times but for the most part, he was fairly good :o)

James had a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese on Sunday and the kids had a good ol' time :o). The rest of the time we were there, we just hung out and played with the kids. It was a good trip but it was way too short . . . . before we knew it . . . it was time to drive back home.

On the way back, it took us 9 hours and 4 rest stops. One of the stops the kids had a GREAT time because it had a playground in it. We left Ohio about 10:30 a.m. and got home about 9 o'clock.

It's nice to go on vacation from time to time but it's always good to be home :o)

Thank you, Brother and Sister-in-Law for letting us stay with you and showing us around . . . we had a GREAT time ~ see you next time :o)
