ROAD TRIP 2008-2009, The BEGINNING...

We decided to leave early for our Road trip because of the impending snowstorm. This was an EXCELLENT idea given that our area was befallen with over a foot of snow... We put the kids to bed at 7 pm, packed everything up for 4 hours, and took off in the car at 11 pm. Jonathan and I drove through the night, arriving in Chantilly, VA at 7 am. The kids slept some on the ride, but not as much as I would have thought. They were just so excited for our trip. When we arrived at the IHOP for breakfast, we told them that it was "pajama day" there. They were so cute in their bunny suits... Needless to say, we were exhausted and Friday was a low-key day of rest for all. Jonathan took the boys to Walmart to buy a few things that we had forgotten, such as a nightgown for me, razor blades, and some other stuff. The littles and I hung back to nap, the boys watched tv for hours, and we went to dinner at Ruby Tuesday.
