Single ladies, potty breaks, mullets oh my!


We have made it to Louisville KY. I have finally procured a laptop to fill everyone in on our trip. I want to stress the way to survive a family vacation is to keep your expectations very low, that way you will only be pleasantly surprised. Due to the fact that my time on the computer is short, here are a few of my latest observations:
* Driving 12 hours with a 2 and 3 year old is only made bearable by a portable DVD player and potty breaks. Benadryl does nothing for a 2 year old determined not to sleep. In fact, it just makes her higher than a kite. After refusing to nap, we pulled into the hotel @ 10:30. Claire stayed up talking, and singing in her crib until 12:00. Jeff and I attempted to be stern with her about being quiet, but when she busted out in her shrill little voice, "All the single ladies, calling all the single ladies!" we had to crack up.
* Waffle House is the best place ever to eat with kiddos. Seriously, your parenting skills and lack of personal hygiene after spending hours in a car will go completely unnoticed!
* Too much McDonald's causes excessive gas, screw the fact that they have a germ infested playground. I don't care how much your kiddos want to play, if it is raining out and you cannot open the windows to breath in a little fresh air... skip it!
* Kentucky is the land of the mullets and a few do in fact wear hammer pants. I saw a beautiful black suede pair, in the 85 degree heat.
* There is actually a company called 1-800-got-junk. If a family member says they work there it is NOT a JOKE. Do not laugh. Yep, I totally made a donkey out of myself with that one.

Tomorrow we head to Chicago, a six hour drive. Funny how six hours seems like nothing after 12. may the force be with us.

All I have to say is... Please don't judge all of us Kentuckians by the mullets and parachute pants you've seen. LOL

Hope you have a good trip the rest of the way!

I do consider all the concepts you've introduced on your post. They're very convincing
and can definitely work. Still, the posts are too brief for starters.

May just you please extend them a little from subsequent
time? Thanks for the post.

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. However think of if
you added some great graphics or videos to give your posts more, "pop"!
Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this site could undeniably be one of the most beneficial in its field.
Awesome blog!
