Our drive was uneventful. The boys and animals did great, with a few minor meltdowns.
1.) We almost ran out of gas outside Miles City, MT.
2.) We were up close and personal with a fire burning outside of Superior, MT.
3.) We got free coffee in Dickinson, ND.
4.) Kannon had a meltdown at a truck stop in Fargo, ND because he wanted to get a new toy.
5.) Clark pooped in his pants somewhere in South Dakota.....disgusting.
6.) Sioux City, Iowa was actually really nice.
7.) I got my first Starbucks of the roadtrip since leaving Seattle in Omaha, NB.
8.) The Kansas Turnpike was a zombie-land.
9.) We drove all the way from Sioux Falls, SD to Gainesville, TX in one day.
10.) When we finally got to Houston, both our kids refused to get in the car again--even to go to the park.
Our load....it was tight!
This car topper saved our life!
We are settled in our new house, albeit still sleeping on air mattresses until our stuff arrives from Seattle. The boys each have their own room, we have a back yard, and plenty of room to roam. Dale has settled in at his new job, working at Underbelly. I am gearing up for my 3rd week of 2nd grade. Both boys are in preschool! Whew!
I have had a lot on my mind and I hope that I have a chance to sit down and type my thoughts over the coming weeks. So far, Houston has been everything we wanted and more, so stay tuned to more updates from H-town!
