Lonestar State of Mind
Amy August 22nd, 2008
It is 10:30pm and Son #1 has finally gone to sleep. I know he was tired because he has endured a 12 hour car trip to make it to Amarillo and he only slept about an hour in the car. He did really well and only melted down a couple of times. Mike has been riding next to him entertaining while I drive. I give top Daddy marks to Mike on this trip.
Son #1 has been happily sitting in his portacrib watching us and the Olympics. He finally fell asleep after I turned off the tv, but unfortunately that means that I don’t get to watch Diving. I have been one of those people who is sleep deprived because I am staying up to watch the Olympics. The week before our trip, Mike slept upstairs while I stayed up til midnight most nights watching gymnastics on our only working television which happens to reside in our bedroom. Mike is not really into the Games, so he actually got some sleep.
But I digress… Our trip today was long, but uneventful except for my near speeding ticket encounter outside of Albuquerque (62 in a 50mph zone). We stopped briefly in Durango which is where we took the pics of Son #1 on the horses.
Almost home…. here are the photos.
I don’t know if you guys are brave or insane (or maybe a little of both) to make this trip with your kids at such a young age, but I greatly admire you for doing it!! The pictures are great – Colorado is definitely somewhere we want to visit, but haven’t made it there yet. Glad you are finally part of the blogging world too!!
