I was dreading our one day 14 hour drive home since the second I agreed to it. And then that awesome thing where I can’t sleep before a big day happened, and I tossed and turned and didn’t pick up my phone because I was really trying hard to sleep, but it was rough.
Anyways, we left a little later than I wanted, but still at 6:15, so I think that’s pretty good.
And then within the first hour of our trip we got stuck behind this giant truck that wouldn’t let anyone pass and it slowed us down for like 45 minutes. I was so frustrated.
I decided with this crazy long drive to do a quick stop every 2 hours and that really kept me going. I’d count down and remind myself - you can stop in 1 hour and that helped so much.
Also, this little lady took a turn. 🎉
Quick lunch to buffer our snacking.
I called Damian Dominic once or twice when we first met and now everyone jokes about it. So Delaney grabbed this keychain and asked to have Damian in the sibling gift exchange. 🤣
This crew chatted and sang and ate and ate and ate. I also listened to my book to keep my brain occupied because I am vigilant about staying wide awake and avoiding falling asleep while driving. I’ve never come even close to falling asleep, but I’m also not prideful enough to think it couldn’t happen to me.
And finally, at 11:15, after 16 long, but safe hours on the road, we were home again home again from our very last summer trip. Hard to wrap up an epic summer, and also we love home. Two things can be true. ❤️

You've had such a fun and busy summer. Thanks for sharing your travels! Since we couldn't go anywhere this summer, I felt like I was traveling with you.
