Road Trip

Paige flew to D.C. to meet up with us so that she could ride in the car back with us to Idaho. She helped drive, kept up interesting conversations, and most importantly entertained Alex. We left Boston on Saturday September 3rd and drove to D.C. We left D.C. on Tuesday morning. We stopped in Louisville Kentucky to go to Churchhill Downs where the Kentucky Derby is. From there we drove straight through to Inkom. We got home Wednesday night about 9pm. It was about 40 hours of driving from D.C. We stopped only for food, gas, and bathroom breaks. Alex had a few complete meltdowns which resulted in all of us getting out of the car while Alex sat in his car seat screaming. A couple times we had to get treats out to eat outside of the car to entice Alex to settle down. But all together Alex was a trooper. We bought a DVD player from Costco and he watched Curious George, Yogi Bear, and Elmo a lot of the time and it was a LIFESAVER!
