This weekend we traveled home to NJ. It wasn't a vacation, we went home to say "goodbye" to my grandmother, who passed away at 96 years of age. The last minute travel plans left Gill and I considering the best option for the boys. We knew we all wanted to be there to support my dad and hoped that the boys' presence might help him smile. However, usually when we drive to NJ, we allow ourselves at least a week stay so the drive is not too much for the boys. This time, we put on a lot of miles in record time.
We always like to drive through the night, giving the boys the opportunity to sleep through most, if not all, of the long trip. Gill and I take turns driving and while the other one sleeps. It's a long night, but well worth it for the boys' sake.
Thankfully, the boys were happy campers in the car, either sleeping, playing with toys or watching "Cars"
(thanks to the Parkers for lending it to us).
3 days, 1500 miles and over 24 hours in the car, we are back home safe and sound.
I just know that it meant the world to your Dad to have you guys there. We are glad to have you back home safe and sound!
