So. This summer we decided to take the kids on a little trip to visit our good friends in Kansas City. We ate lunch at home at around 10:30 a.m. and took off on a Thursday at about 11. We knew it was a long drive and we didn't really want to have to stop for a meal on the way...we figured that they would already be eating enough meals of nuggets and fries during this trip.
Remind me to never try to smash a family vacation into the week after the 4th again! Yikes. I think I am finally recovered.
Above is a picture of the kids in the car on the way there....notice, that although I did overpack, you could still see out the back window. I thought that was impressive....also notice the PILE of cozy things that the two older kids insisted upon bringing along for the car ride. (Of course, Lola still complained that she couldn't get cozy when it was time for her to nap.)
After we checked into our hotel, the kids had a lot of fun 'posing' on the landscaping. Classy, I know. They needed to get some energy expended...luckily the hotel had lawn and lots of sidewalks to run on. After the kids were able to run off the energy, our good friends Evan and Julie met us at our hotel and we all went out for supper. It was lots of fun, and the kids couldn't WAIT to get back to the hotel to swim. We had a long day, but so far so good....then came the nighttime. Because of the set up of the hotel room (actually must have been old apartments) the sleeping didn't go very well for the littlest one of us. I ended up finding a new hotel for us the next morning...... Other than that, the first day was GREAT!
