The Trip Back Home

We woke up bright and early to finish packing up, check out, and hit the road for home. It was a bittersweet morning. No more swimming nightly, eating out, visiting family, or enjoying the nice weather. The trip back up was pretty uneventful. So much, that Alan decided that we would drive through after we had dinner in NJ and he felt he could do it. The kids were a bit bummed to be missing out on another hotel stay mid-way but they were excited about sleeping in their own beds. They finally went to sleep the lat bit of the drive, although George woke up every 30 minutes or so and we had to play "Rainbow Connection" to soothe him back to sleep. We got back in at 1am and we all slept in. Relaxed around the house and geared up for a normal school/work week.

It was a great family trip with lots of fun and relaxation. Next time we have to plan for another day or two. We said that last time as well, and it just really needs to be done. Now, to start thinking about next time... :) The kids were so good and we can't wait for more adventures with them!

 Good bye ducks!

(One thing I noticed this early morning

was all the birds chirping as the sun came up. 

Haven't heard those calls in a long time and hadn't

really realized it until this quiet morning)

 About 45 minutes into the trip George finally decided 

he needed to use the potty. Thankfully, there was a construction

site at a hospital and we took advantage of it. Haha!

 Waffles in NJ for George. 

He wouldn't eat at all that day and

finally requested waffles around dinner time so 

we found the nearest Denny's and got him a 

waffle Stat! 

 Enjoying some chocolate chip pancakes. 

Oooh purple lights on the bridge :)

Almost there!
