TX to MA

This weekend we set out on what B likes to call the Great American Road Trip. We discovered that before we return to our home we will have traveled through 14 American states. Today we went through several: Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virgina and Pennsylvania... the funny story there was that we were only in West Virginia for about 20 minutes and most of that was spent at Sheetz where Z had to take a .... restroom break! HA! They had some fun sensory potties that flushed on Z twice both times making him look up at me with confusion and not just a little anxiety that soon he would be disposed of if he didn't get off the pot! Very funny... (a little potty humor for my dear father-in-law).
Fun new game for road trips - take normal acronyms and make them more fun.
FBI - freaky button injuries
AMD - absolute melt down or angry mother dissertations
fun, fun, fun! Gave us at least an hour of humor on a day full of driving monotony!

Yesterday & today my children were troopers! They traveled 11+ hours yesterday & 13+ hours today! We stopped only a handful of times each day. I thought they did an exceptional job and best of all when we got to the hotels they went quietly to bed. As I am going to do ... right now!
