louisiana road trip {12 hours.}

Friday morning at 6am, I got my babies out of their warm snuggly beds, kissed their daddy goodbye and hopped in the car for a road trip to my Grandma's house in Louisiana with my mom and sis. 

These are some things that are true about our road trip.

1.  It goes much smoother with a DVD player to entertain the almost-three-year-old. 


2.  This boy can and will watch Thomas & Friends: Mud Glorious Mud over and over until you make him stop.


3.  Ella enjoys the High School Musical soundtrack provided by Aunt Rwach and only cried when hungry. 


4.  I cried when hungry too.  So we ate here. 


5.  Ella slept off and on during the trip. 


6.  I wanted to be her.  I slept on this trip for my whole life - like, take two Dramamine and see you when we get there kind of sleep.  And I maybe got 30 minutes this trip.  Demanding little munchkins.  Next time I'll bring someone to take care of them so I can sleep.  Britton???


 7.  We stopped at The Junk Barn just outside of Lufkin, TX.  It was like heaven.  You know how I love junk.  And you just can't imagine how much junk there is here.  We got lost.  It went on for-ev-er.

 

8.  I'm hoping it's open when we go back through, because I'm going to look through this shopping cart full of old castors.  I have a project in mind....

 

9.  This child did not sleep AT ALL in the car.  A 12 hour trip (with stops).  I considered a tranquilizer gun.  


10.  We made it without incident.  I'm proud of my kids and thankful for a safe trip!
