Diary of a Road Trip

The family spent this weekend in Indiana visiting Travis's dad and stepmom. We had a fabulous time while we were out there. Getting there and back was another story. This is my log of our trip out. The trip back was strikingly similar.

8:00am        Planned departure time
8:45am        Actual departure time
9:30am        Cash needs to poop – stop at gas station
9:35am        Cash too scared to poop on gas station toilet without potty ring
9:36am        Bribe Cash with opportunity to pick out candy if he poops
9:37am        Bribe works! Cash picks out Twizzler Nibs
9:40am        Divide Nibs up between Cash and West
9:50am        West vomits up Nibs, pull over to the side of the road and swab him down with baby wipes
10:00am      CONSTANT WHINING from the backseat, West asks every 5 minutes where Mamaw and Granddad's house is
11:00am       CONSTANT WHINING continues
11:30am      CONSTANT WHINING continues, stop at Best Buy in Columbia and buy dual screen DVD player for the backseat and three movies
11:50am       Ah, the sweet sound of NO WHINING
1:30pm        Lunch at Joe's Crab Shack in St. Peters. Boys play on the play area while we eat. One of the most peaceful meals ever.
5:21pm        Cash watches Jungle Book. West is bored with Jungle Book and spontaneously counts to ten (he has only counted to three up to this point)
6:04pm        West still bored with Jungle Book. He picks fight with Cash over the color of their IMAGINARY monster trucks.
8:00pm        Eat dinner from McDonald's in car.
9:00pm        FINALLY arrive at Travis's parents' house. THANK.GOD.
