We had intentions of being on the road by 7, but we had to make a couple stops (donuts and coffee) and so we were heading out of town at 7:45am. The tough part about driving home is we lose an hour, so it was already 8:45 back home. The kids did great on the drive home. The first 2 hours or so were really rough with Bishop. He was hungry (again), but once we overcame that the kids did great! I was really impressed with how well they traveled on the way out and home.
We made some stops and had a little adventure with a mud hole in Des Moines (I think it was Des Moines). Luke was running a red light making a U-turn and jumped the curb.....but RIGHT on the other side of the curb was a big mud hole. Thankfully we didn't lose a tire and it sounded worse than it was.....and we had the mud/dirt on our car to prove it!
We pushed on and made it all the way HOME (to Minneapolis). We were at home, in bed by midnight and it felt really nice waking up in our own beds. The past few years we've stayed at my parents so they can help out if the kids get up early, etc, but we were able to make it all the way home, which was nice. However, the kids did want to stay at Nana and Papa's! ;)
