Early to Rise (Early to Bed didn’t happen, sadly)
Getting back on the road quite early this morning for the drive home. We are on Pat Crotty time – so that means ON THE ROAD at 4am – then drive all day with breaks for gas/bathrooms. (we have food packed in the cooler for drivetime dining). So… Although we have 1521 miles to drive – we’ll be home by tomorrow night. Today, we’ll drive 842 miles to Butte, Montana. Tomorrow we’ll push it the rest of the way home to Bellingham. Our kids are the smallest of the bunch – so this travel style is pretty rough on them, despite the drugs (portable DVD players we bought for the trip) we’re giving them. Augustus is 3yo and Dorothy is 9 months. Dorothy has always been a great car traveler, but the drive to North Dakota kind of ruined that wonderful trait. She’s sleeping now of course, but I fear that when she wakes up that we’ll be hearing about it…
