our kiddos that is!! We went on a trip to VA and the first leg of it we made 3 stops...making it a 3 day trip. They did very well and didn't have too much problems with the drive.
Along the way we got to spend some time with Lola and Uncle Josh and Uncle Michael and Olivia and Julianna! Damien had a blast with Uncle Josh...he even got the biggest balloon we have ever seen!!
Once we got to VA....Damien couldn't have been happier! He got to play with his cousins...Cory, Anthony and Alli! He even got to meet his sister and 2 brothers...Staci, Dustin and Zachery!!
When we left...you could tell that he already missed them all....
The car ride back was better than we thought it was going to be. Instead of a 3 day trip back...we had to do it in 2. The reason for that was we had to pick Skylar up at the airport!! Damien and Lance did great!! The first stretch from VA to AR was pure torcher!! It was almost a 15 hour trip and that was including stops...We had some minor and major incidents. Damien's nose bled twice and Lance had some explosive poos and pees!! Other than that...they did great but I don't think we will ever be doing that again!! Flying seems like a better option!
From AR to TX it was much better but you could tell we all wanted out of that truck!! Lance couldn't take it anymore and the last hour of the trip was the worst!! He cried so hard and so long!! I don't blame him...Damien would even tell me he wanted out of his carseat! He would tell me that he was "stuck!"
I think for the rest of the year...we will be only making short trips...no longer than 2 hours!!

I feel for you two!!!! I hate long trips.... Just the short drive from AL to TX is torture on us... I think it is supposed to be a 12 hour drive, it alway takes us about 16.... I will say the DVD is doing wonders for the road trips! Oh... wait till you start potty training and they have to go every 1/2 hour.... That is lots of fun!!!!! But I am glad you all are home safe and sound and had a good trip!
Yup, not like it was when we were kids. Seatbelt use was not mandated like it is now. It's pretty much impossible to take kids cross country like we once did. I guess safety is paramount, but still...
