Day 1 of our adventure
Day 1
We left the comforts of home at 7 am. I knew, of course, that we’d probably end up having to leave that “late.” Our boys are always up early but not the days we want them to. Bobby decided to sleep in, and I had to wake him to leave. We had even tried to quicken up our morning by putting them to bed in their clothes. Again, our Mr. Bobby threw a wrench into things by peeing through his shirt and his pants. This left me running around trying to find something comfortable for him to wear that was clean (good luck after packing half the house!). Then, it was off to our favorite local Dunk**’ Donu*s.
Bruce sadly parted with his coffee supplier, John, and we really hit the road. Things seemed to be going swimmingly. Then, we stopped for gas. I went into the back to adjust the boys a little and noticed spit up on Will. No biggie, I thought. HA! Just after we got into Virginia (and Will woke up from a little nap), he puked all over the place! We had little more than 10 minutes to cancel our hotel reservations for $25 as opposed to having to pay for the 5 days. There were intense discussions. It was finally decided that since Will was in good spirits and was not running a fever that something did not agree with his tummy and was now gone. Luckily, we were right. On with the trip!
As we neared the end of Virginia, it started to snow. The boys were excited. I was nervous. We had been in the car nearly 8 hours anyway, so we stopped for the night at 3:30. Someone told us as we got into the van to go off to dinner that our left rear tire looked low. We paid the gas station the $0.75 to get air. Remember when air was free???
