The drive up was fairly uneventful (for an 11 1/2 hour journey), the kids ate snacks, played with the animals, and watched lots of movies. We had a nice weekend. We spent too much money on carnival games, saw some of Rob's old friends, and even took a trip to an indoor water park - not my idea of fun, but sometimes that doesn't matter. The drive home (3 days later) was looong - 14 hours. We haven't seen rain in months, but we saw plenty of it while driving through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia. All that rain got everyone thinking about water, and so there were lots of bathroom stops along the way.
This latte came to me around hour 12 when we stopped for dinner at chick-fil-a and heard lots of chatter about the tornadoes which had just passed through town. Don't worry about little things while on a road trip. If you and your kids eat nothing but fast food for a day, you will survive. But, take my word for this, while a latte or two on the road is great, be sure to watch everyone's liquid intake for the day.
