Road Trip

In October, we drove from Michigan to Colorado to Idaho to Utah to Colorado and back to Michigan.  It was a LONG drive! But is was nice to see family that we had not seen in about 2 years and that had never met Jacob.

We left when Jon got off work and drove all night and most of the next day. The boys slept most of the night. Keriann slept in the back while Jon drove, until about 4:00 in the morning. Then we switched about every hour.

The first few hours were the worst and we almost turned around and said forget it. James got car sick and threw up all over himself and his booster. Jacob screamed nonstop. When we finally gave James something to help him not get so car sick and sleep, and turned on a light at the back of the van, things went more smoothly. Jacob was just scared of the dark, and we forgot that James is cursed with Mommy and Daddy's motion sickness. Here are some pictures from all our driving.

We read books.

Played with Legos.

Snuggled with blankets.

Drew pictures on post its and stuck them to the window.

And just drove.

And drove.

And drove.

We decided afterwards, that it was great to see so much family and it was nice to have our own car, but we do not want to drive that far for another 2 years.
