Today we all were kind of over the whole "driving across country" thing. All around a bit grumpy, but still the trip has gone so much better than expected. No major meltdowns (until Miss Mae's in the hotel room)...I am so impressed with the kids. Meli had trouble with the 45 minute drive to Grandma's...so this is very exciting. The big guy upstairs must have decided to give the B family a little break.
The view was pretty, but the day was uneventful. The only thing I took note of was when I tried to show Colin a plateau...he told me "no that is a volcano mom". He was very adamant about that point.
Before the trip we bought Colin a used DS player. We felt he was still a little young so we decided to go the cheaper route. He saw it a week before we left, but we told him he could not have it until we started our trip. So he waited patiently (for a five year old)...and then we could not get it to work. Poor guy. We finally were able to work on it yesterday, so he got it on the second to last day. He loved it though and we did not hear a peep out of him. This also allowed Mae to watch the movies she likes.
We stopped in Boise for the night. Will was very excited to see a Jack in the Box. I cannot wait to cook a meal. I am tired of fast food and restaurants. This aspect of the trip makes me think that my grandparents had the right idea having a camper for all our trips we took when I was kid...I mentioned it to Will and he was like "hell no"...I guess it would age us a bit. Ha ha.
The pictures are of Colin in Wyoming, Meli having her meltdown in the hotel, and her drinking like a big girl at breakfast.
