Columbus here we come!

We left our home in Utah on June 15th and and drove for 3 straight days...  no joke.  We drove all day, slept a couple hours in a hotel, drove another whole day, etc etc etc...  We saw some beautiful country and some not so beautiful country.  We ate a lot of fast food, twinkies, candy bars, chips, and gas station popcorn, drank a lot of coke, (which I was not heartbroken about... or any of the above), spent a lot of money on gas, made many pit stops, listened to some great mixed cd's that are really old and scratched up (I ended up throwing a ton away), some great conversation, singing (mostly old macdonald, give said the little stream, little mermaid, etc) and a lot of other fun stuff that you do on really long road trips with a 6 week old and a terrible 2.  It was fun but I can't say I will be driving back and forth to Utah again soon...  hopefully never :) It really wasn't that bad.

Here is Jude (is what we call her) or my sweet sweet mom that drove many of the miles while I took care of the kids smashed in between their car seats, multi tasking.  I couldn't of done it without her.  Thanks mom!  I love you and owe you big.  

We did a lot of this kind of thing, mostly to distract Lucy from escaping out of her car seat after her dvd player ran out of batteries.  She lasted about 5 hours and then started to get anxious... so to pass the time we made Norah do funny faces.  Poor Norah.  It made us laugh and she will never remember, right?

Here is Lucy, almost 3 years old and sucking on her dang binkie, it kept her happy so we let her suck away.

Tears of joy when I saw this... we finally made it!  It only took us 30 hours, yes 30 hours.  It was supposed to only take us 24 hours.  

Penske did the job just fine.  Dave drove the truck towing his car behind and we followed.  It was so fun :)  Glad it's over.

It was a memorable road trip that I will never forget.  Cute pic guys!  I love you!
