Alarms started going off at 6:00 am. We had hoped to be on the road by 7:00 am but it took a little longer to close everything up before we left. I think it took longer because it was our first time plus we couldn't divide and conquer since I needed to watch what Scott was doing so I could undo it when the kids and I return.
Anyway, by the time we wrapped everything up and dropped off cards to the building staff, it was just after 8:15 when we got on the road. We had hoped to make the entire trip today. However, losing even one hour when planning on 16-17 hours, was enough to make us question it.
It rained almost all morning and Scott had sinus pressure most of the day. They are expecting a pretty large snowstorm to hit the Midwest beginning on Sunday so the farther we can make it today, the less driving tomorrow! Honestly though I wasn't sure we'd make it home, but we kept pushing forward.
At 1:15 am we pulled in the driveway. The kids did great! Sammy slept off and on starting at 10:00 pm, Tyler stayed awake the entire trip. Both kids are dealing with a head cold still so I was even more impressed.
What an amazing time we had! But it feels oh-so-good to be home!
