I did something I never thought I would do. I suggested to my husband that I drive our two boys from Minnesota to Georgia for our nephew’s high school graduation. Not sure where the idea came from but it was there and I did it! Yahoo for me!!
The 19 hour road trip was not that bad. Nothing like the road trips of my childhood. Both boys had saved up their allowance to purchase their own iPod Touch. They each purchased various TV shows, movies, games and music to prepare for the trip. My plan: when batteries needed to be re-charged or bickering started we plugged in my old simple iPod. I had gone to the library and downloaded a few audio books I wanted to read to the kids during the school year but had not gotten too. Time flew by.
We did have two flat travelers accompany us on our travels. They arrived from Texas a week before we left. In Minnesota, we were in between seasons. No more snowmobiles, playing in the snow or ice fishing. It wasn’t warm enough for fishing, boating or swimming. So, we brought them with us on our seven state trip. Here they are in the front seat ready to go!
First stop – St. Louis, MO. Nice view driving into the city. We also had the same view from our hotel room. My sweet hubby booked the boys and I a VERY NICE room while traveling without him. He takes such good care of us.
After arriving at our hotel we ate, walked over to the arch and then went swimming. The next morning we ate and walked back to the arch for a ride to the top.
Stay tuned for more!
We often travel from out home state of Alabama to Wisconsin to visit family. It is a long drive, but we have a lot of fun. I look forward to more of your journey.
ReplyDeleteThis year my girls and I drove to Chicago from CT. I was an experience I hope to repeat. We learned so much about ourselves and each other. We just returned from a road trip to TN. Rather than taking highways the whole way we wandered through PA and over the Blue Ridge Mountains on VA. It was a lovely drive. Road trips are fantastic!
