Old School Road Trip

We're on the road driving our kids from the north end of Texas to the south end of Texas to visit the Grandfolks. For those of you unfamiliar with the size of Texas, my Google map tells me that it's a twelve hour drive. We plan to break it down into a two-day trip and already have our reservations at a hotel about halfway. (Why do I feel like Clark Griswold all of a sudden?)

This is the stuff childhood memories are made of, right?! So, this should be fun, right?!

Shut your nay-saying mouth. I have convinced myself this will be fun. I have told the rest of the family this will be fun. This will be fun. Damn it. Now sit there and be quiet and don't say another word until you start having some fun. (Oh. I so have the Old School "Mom Speech" down! I'm ready!)

I don't know what blogging capabilities will be "on the road." So, don't take any radio silence as a sign that we're all sitting, weeping on the side of the road.

Or do.

Whatever.

This could go either way...

I'm sort of glad the Tribal conference was canceled because that would have meant a similar road trip for us. And there would be nary a difference between kids screaming in the back seat and me screaming in the front. I can whine with the best of them.

Have a safe, fun and blog-worthy trip!

that makes me laugh, kathy. and it makes me want to organize some diabolical scheme wherein you and MY KIDS end up road-tripping together...

Hope you enjoyed the trip! Sad to hear we missed you.

We are taking Olivia to camp in N. Carolina later this month. 19 hour drive. Seriously. Making memories. Of course, we'll be there 2 full weeks so hopefully I'll have forgotten the horror before I have to turn around and do it again!!!

i kept thinking of you when i was in random locations (like CVS) - thinking, "wouldn't it be awesome if i rounded the corner and AMY was here?!" but, you never were...

SURELY you're breaking the 19 hour trip into a few days, right?! right?! tell olivia to have the time of her life. i know she will!
My recent post JOHN "CARTER"!!
We were out of town all week or I would have tried to pop into just that CVS!

19 hour trip planned to take two days. Unfortunately, Kevin is now in trial during said trip so I'll be driving all 19 hours ALONE!!!! This is either very good for our marriage or very bad for our marriage. I'll let you know in a few weeks.

xoxo
