day #16: drivin across the country...

i know i'm not doin this whole blog thing exactly the way it should go, but bein that i have had limited access to the internet, and don't have internet on my phone, i'm gonna play catch up these next few days. this post is for friday, sept. 10th.

left el paso at midnite and after a LONG 28 hr drive to michigan, we arrived safely at the cottage up north. well, i think it was long, per tom, we made excellent time bein we had a 2 hr time change and 2 lil ones with us. definitely lookin forward to takin our time on the way back and gettin to experience all the states we traveled thru.

the route we took went from texas to new mexico, to texas again, to oklahoma, thru missouri, to illinois, and finally the mitten. pretty decent drivin other than it rained the whole way thru missouri, and we drove thru there the later part of the nite. sure does make for a tired cara who can't drive more than 60 mile sections at a time, lol.

the boys did VERY well on our drive. connor only had about 2 major meltdowns, but it sure did help havin an extra set of adult hands to help out with drinks, snacks, toys, etc.

when we arrived in michigan at 640 am, we were tired, but excited to start our vacation with the marcoux family. i don't really have any pics from our drive up there because we were in such a rush at our pit stops, so i'm includin a pic of zach in his position that he was in for 28 hrs, lol.
