We're off to Chicago tomorrow. We're, or should I say I am, going to help my friend Marcy pack for her move to Montana. Should be interesting. It is a good 5-7 hour drive. I've yet to drive more than 4 hours with the boys. I really do not like driving for long periods of time. Not that 5-7 hours is really that long. I used to travel with my parents and brother across the country almost every summer. Of course, back then we kids could be unbuckled in the back of the van. It was no big deal. No car seats. Now, I think Zane will be in a car seat until he is 5 or 6. He just cannot get past 38 pounds. No booster seat yet!
Back to Marcy... She is a great cook. I am really looking forward to a nice visit with her and her kids and I am looking forward to eating some yummy food. I will update you all with details of the visit, how the boys did on the trip, and maybe even some pics.
Wish me luck! I think I need it.

Good luck (but I don't think you'll really need it). :) Look at it as a big adventure ... and bring activities for the kids.
ReplyDeleteI once traveled from the northern part of Washington state to southern California with a friend and her 3 boys. She drove ... and wasn't at all prepared for a long drive (we drove straight through) with three kids strapped in. Ten minutes into the trip the kids started asking how far it was .. and she'd say ... let's ask "SF" to look at the map and tell us? This went on ... every 30 minutes or so ... for the entire trip. But hey ... had I not traveled with her ... I wouldn't have this story to tell. :)
Can't wait for the update!
