After a VERY long trip, we've made it to Washington. The kids were really good, but it was extremely hot the entire way and our air conditioning wasn't working. I had to roll the windows down to cool us off a bit (not that it helped much). Because of that, the girls weren't able to watch movies since they couldn't hear them at all. Plus, Lexie threw up less than halfway into the trip and I gave the girls popsicles to try to cool them off - what a mess!! By the time we got here everyone's hair was in knots, everyone was sticky, and the car was pretty stinky :) It took us 20 1/2 hrs to make it here. We got within an hour of my parents's house when we got stuck in traffic because of a bad accident. We ended up moving 3 miles in 1 1/2 hrs. It was pretty frustrating. We're here now though and the girls have been busy picking blackberries and playing outside. I'll post lots of pictures when we get back....

Wow!!! What a trip!!! Bless your heart. I guess all that counts in the end is the wonderful time you got to spend with your family. I'm sure that made up for all the trouble. Hope that travelling will get easier in the future (Nicolas pretty much outgrew his motion sickness, even though we still keep an eye on him).
