After driving 7.5 hours on the first day, we checked into our hotel and went swimming in the pool. We enjoyed burning off some energy after a long day of traveling.
The girls were excellent travelers. As expected, there were a few whiny sessions and sisterly fights, but the girls did a great job being kind and patient with one another...especially considering that we spent 28 hours together in a car in one week.
The girls entertained themselves by listening to music, watching shows on their iPads, coloring, and reading books. (Savannah read three books on our trip!) I listened to 35 podcasts, which helped time pass quickly and made the trip more enjoyable.
The girls and I missed Daddy during our road trip, and we were thrilled to see him when we got home. The girls and I are thankful for the opportunity to see our family and friends in IL, as well as for safe travels, good weather, and minimal traffic and construction on our 1,700-mile road trip through 6 states (North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois)!
