We didn't make it out the door by 8am as we'd hoped, but we didn't do too bad! Kaelyn didn't even get up until well after 8. Both Sean and I showered and we even did two loads of laundry. The shower and laundry room are RIGHT by the closet where she slept, but nothing seemed to bother her that morning! I woke her from a dead sleep but she was excited to see me since I brought her her breakfast.
We made it on the road by 9 and had an uneventful drive. I have no idea where we stopped, but Sean dropped us at McDonald's for lunch and then went to get gas and drive through Arby's. Kaelyn dragged her diaper bag ALL the way around the restaurant...twice. Just for fun, I guess.
She only slept about 45 minutes of the drive, so that made it seem long, but she was pretty good. She watched some videos, looked at every book we brought, and played anything else we gave her. She ate her lunch in the car so that gave her something to do too. We got home at 4:30 or so after 7 1/2 hours in the car with one 20 minute break. It was worth the drive, we had a blast.
And now...we wait. 2 years until another big trip. Wisconsin Dells here we come! 2013!!!
