Vacation Day One - Travel

Well, we made it.   And our hosts have a beautiful BEAUTIFUL home in this “little” resort village.  The 5+ hour trip (with stops) was as uneventful as we could hope for. We drove through snow (on the side of the roads) and there was just a little bit of day or two old snow on the driveway when we pulled in.

The girls alternated crying or screaming most of the time – it would just not be right for there to be peace and quite for part of the drive now would it?  Rebekah watched her portable DVD player a fair amount of the time and even tolerated having the headphones on so mommy and daddy didn’t have to listen to Dora The Explorer AGAIN!  Sarah kept throwing her “binky” just out of reach of everyone so that we would have to make a stop and get out and find it.   Neither girl slept more than a few minutes on the entire trip.

Once we got close we stopped at a grocery store to pick up some basic food stuffs and then drove on in.  It took a couple of hours to get unloaded and situated but we managed.  The girls were not nearly as inquisitive about a new place as I thought they would be.  There are lots of steps and we are going to have to do some teaching about that.  

Mommy got the girls to bed and daddy spent a bit of time working on our hosts wireless system to get it up and running (I am typing on my laptop in the family room now so it must be working…).  Girls are in bed now and mommy and daddy are sitting on the couch together and just lounging.  Hopefully this is a good sign of things to come.

Pray for a very uneventful week please!
