Road Trip!
Tomorrow we are heading into Chatham to visit friends family.
It is approximately three and a half hours one way. So, we have about 7 hours in the car ahead of us. Neither of the boys have had to sit in the car that long without breaks, so this will be an experience.
I am expecting to have to make frequent stops if the boys are bored – just to get them out and look around at different scenery – otherwise they may (probably will) get cranky.
Years ago, Michelle and I both loved long car trips. When we got our first car that is all we did. We drove to Niagra Falls at 3 in the morning just for something to do. We talked back then about making our kids come along for the long rides – eventually ending up camping or hiking. So far, it just hasn't happened. I know – they are only one and two – but still. I was expecting a couple long trips in their lives already.
We'll see how they do – and whether we want to torture ourselves again like this.
