Our journey started bright and early. We were excited to embark on our little adventure. We hadn't seen Shawn in seven weeks, so Dad was a novelty and definitely took the edge off of the drive, just being together was a treasure and made something as boring as a drive fun. The kids were amazing, even if Hayden did ask about a billion times "how much longer" or "are we there yet". We stayed the night somewhere in Texas. Shawn was tempted to drive all the way through, but I wanted the drive to feel like part of our vacation, so we checked ourselves into a hotel. We swam in the hotel pool, and watched TV curled up in bed together. The drive was beautiful, but admittedly I missed a lot of it because I had my nose in a book. We have a tradition to listen to book on tape from the library on a long drive. But since we will be gone for so long I couldn't check out anything, so I actually read a book aloud. It was fun, and really helped to pass the time. My favorite state that we drove through was Kansas. It is flat and one green field after another. I loved all the cute little farm houses, and all the tiny quaint towns, where I am sure you know everyone. I decided in my next life I want to be a farmer. But anyway, we made it to our destination. And was relieved to see that we have a super Target, and a Chipotle close by, I might survive. The drive here was great, but I am glad that the drive home isn't anytime soon! Two days of driving is plenty enough for me!
