The Trip Saga, Day 1

We have been driving for a while now, all eight of us packed into our slightly conspicuous van. It is a long trip from Northwest Arkansas to Virginia, about a day! The funny thing is, I have actually been enjoying the drive! Mom packed lots of activities in our backpacks, and there have not even been many arguments! And… Wait for it… None of the five kids have uttered those dreaded words, “Are we there yet”. We are getting lots of great scenery, lots of “Quiet alone time” and most of our conflicts have been very short. We have been having lots of fun, and are about to see Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson! We stopped at Trader Joe’s yesterday, and continued driving with lots of tasty goodies! (Including bacon flavor popcorn!) I would say our drive has been a great success. But it’s not over yet! Stay posted for more fun!
