Farm Road Trip Day ONE

I wanted to blog our road trip along the way... but since we usually made it to the hotel/motel around 1am I decided to sleep instead. A good choice I am sure! {grin}

The beginning of Day ONE was a little stressful...

we left 5 hours later than we had planned, for many reasons...

lost wallet

top carrier trouble

washing machine fiasco

needy girls

anxious boys

rain...

you get the idea, right!?!

but the fridge WAS finally emptied

the van WAS finally loaded.

everyone WAS in the car.

and we left... it was an odd feeling leaving the house behind for so long.

But we were all excited and ready for this adventure to begin!

since we were SO late leaving, we missed the chance to meet up with some bloggie friends... so sorry girls!

We DID get to meet up with Steph, her husband and Ivy.

As you can see... Ivy and the girls are absolutely adorable and had a fun time crawling around together... you know... eating rocks, flowers and skinning their toes.

It was such a treat and we are SO glad it worked out!

we hit the road and drove a couple hours to our first stop for the night. And NO that is not where we stayed! Ha! We stopped at a holiday Inn Express.
