Are we there yet?

We began our trip back home to Indiana last Friday afternoon. It's been almost 18 months since we last made this road trip and we were anxious/excited to see our families. It's a long trip and there is a lot of ground to cover with both of our families being from there but at opposite ends of the state. We knew this time was going to be a wee bit more challenging with a preschooler and a toddler in tow. Unfortunately, none of our family members have padded rooms for us to lock the boys in to burn off some of that "all boy" energy! We were fortunate that this was the first trip where Blake wanted to watch movies the whole time in the car. Whoever invented the portable DVD player/TV is a Saint! Luke was a tad bit more difficult to keep entertained. ;)

On the way there we made pretty good time and drove until about 11:30 Friday night. The boys had been asleep for about 2 1/2 hours when we finally stopped at a hotel for the night. Luke was so upset from being woken up that he started crying really bad and ended up puking in the bed we were sharing. That was fun.

We made a lot of new memories on this trip. One of which will make me smile forever...we had just got to Woodbury, MN at the start of our trip (for the non-Minnesotans, this is suburb about 45 minutes away from our starting point) and Blake asked his first (of many)..."are we there yet?"
