Normally I write this post while waiting for Marian to go to sleep, but everyone slept through the night including my little eight-week old. I guess that keeping everyone up to finish a movie was a good choice.
Yesterday (day five of our adventure) was a success. We had a wonderful breakfast, made by Dominic who seemingly did not want to go to work, and Milo and Liliana ran around getting some energy out. It was great to have a place for him to play as well as a new friend.
But, we hit the road with Salina, KS as the goal. It always starts off well, but that last stretch is a rough one. Marian was not in the mood to be in the car yesterday for sure. We had lunch at Steak n Shake (not a great choice if you don’t buy meat, but the shake was delicious) and made it to our hotel around 6pm in one time zone (I’m not sure which).
I ordered takeout from a restaurant with great reviews and sent mom on a harrowing trip to get it (oops!). But the food was delicious and we enjoyed watching “the parent trap” and eating it. (Except when Milo accidentally dumped marinara sauce everywhere.)
Today the goal is St. Louis. Wish us luck.
