At the end of May, we took a road trip to visit family in Wisconsin and South Dakota. Yes, we spent a total of over 36 hours in the van with 2 toddlers. I call it an adventure (Brad has a different name for it), but none the less we made it and had a lot of fun.
H & G did surprisingly well during the entire trip, having only a few melt downs here and there.
Before we left, I hit the dollar store and stocked up on books, toys, baby dolls, etc. for the trip. My plan was to distribute something new and exciting every few hours to keep the girls happy and busy. However, my "goody bag" was not big enough and we ran out of fun within the first 3 hours.
I think it confused the girls for us to be gone for so long (almost 2 weeks). Every time we went somewhere and came back to our condo in WI, Hannah would say, "we doin' this again?" Then they really got confused when we went to stay with Brad's grandma in SD and kept asking "is this our home?"
We really had a great time visiting so many family members and in Hannah's words, I think we'll be "doin' this again" in the future.
