2500 miles later...

we are in Bellingham,WA!!!! It was a great first family road trip. The kids were amazing. I can't even begin to describe how well they did. They never whined or complained. We knew that Jaycee would do well, Jackson of course was the one we were concerned about. He is very much a home body little dude and he loves to have room to play. He did great! Both kids are loving every moment already at Nana and Papa's.

We left out at Noon on Tuesday. We drove to Gallup, New Mexico. We left out at 7:00 a.m. and made it to Woodlands, California on Wednesday night. We left out of there at 4:00 a.m. arrived at Nana and Papa's at 7:00 p.m. Thursday night.

Our trip consisted of lots of music, games, leapster games, movies, snacks, and naps. The best was being able to see God's beautiful creation with our kids. They loved seeing all of the scenery. The first time Jackson saw Mt. Shasta in California he said it looked like a big pile of yogurt!!! At dark we did a lot of "I see some" which translates into Christmas lights being spotted. That was probably one of my favorite parts is just driving and seeing cities and towns bright with lights.

We are having a great relaxing day. The kids are enjoying their freedom of running up and down the stairs, playing with "new" toys, and playing outside. So thankful that we were able to make the trip and blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family to enjoy this time of year with.
