This past weekend we undertook a trip with all three kids and both dogs that involved driving 200 miles each way.
The drive up was a breeze. Erin chatted contentedly, the twins slept and Guinness and Scrabble watched the cars travel by. The drive back, well we’ll get to that later.
The girls (and pups) got to spend tons of time with their Granny and they were thrilled. Matt was in a wedding for friends of ours who have finally tied the knot after 12 years together. The wedding was beautiful and because I’m an idiot who brought the camera but not the battery I have no pictures to prove it.
On Monday we decided to start back around 12:30. We anticipated traffic at each exit, but for the first 100-120 miles it wasn’t terrible. There is a toll booth about 20 miles from the NJ state line and once we hit that we’re usually in the clear for the rest of the ride. On this trip, the traffic slowed a little sooner than we thought near the toll booth. After sitting in a 20 mile traffic jam, we finally learned that the delay was due to an accident. On the other side of the road. 20 miles of rubbernecking on Memorial Day. Once again, a reminder of why we need to move out of such a congested area!!!
