Cross Country Again - With Two Kids - Are We Crazy?


Sat. 6/7/2014

Full day of driving; car was packed yesterday afternoon and we were up by 5:30 AM and pulling out of the driveway at 7:09 AM.   Stopped for breakfast just before the Bay Bridge just like we always do on the bikes.  One or two more stops to stretch and we arrived at the hotel by 3:30 PM.  Would have been a little earlier but we are off the freeway and in town so we had to deal with some traffic delays.  I sure wouldn’t want to live in a city as crowded as Pittsburgh.   One of our rest stops was in Hancock where we walked by the Canal.  And we had to use a “port-a-potty” which was something Zoey was very interested in. Had the GPS set for shortest route for a while so we got off the interstate and traveled a few miles on great mountain roads – could almost make the van lean – until Don made me stop.  Zoey was in the back saying “wee”.   Kids were impressed with the mountains and that we were riding on top of some and going through tunnels to get through others.   Nice motel and kids were impressed the room even has a bathroom!  They don’t remember staying in a motel last year.  Toys are all over the room right now as well as popcorn.   Kids traveled good; took 3 short naps in the car.
