More Pics of the Trip

Anyone who has taken a road trip with an active toddler will attest that it's not the easiest thing to do. Abigail did a great job. We took a few books, some toys, and pointed out every motorcycle, cow, or dog from Texas to Maine. I rode in the back next to her most of the way while Sarah drove (she gets car sick). I'm not sure who had the tougher job; her negotiating busy roads and confusing signs or me, trying to feed, entertain, and sometimes calm down Abigail. It all worked out and we concluded that we could possibly do that trip again (much to the excitement of our families). We're really glad that Fort Leonard Wood puts us ten hours closer to New England.

Abby dozed off much to the delight of her parents (I got to read my motorcycle magazine and Sarah could drive in peace):



Visiting Pepere:

Here are some stats from the trip;

Number of times Abby insisted on me doing "This little piggy went to the market" on her toes: about a million.

Number of times that Josiah received the "evil eye" stare from Sarah in the rear view mirror because of wise comments that he would make: about 150.

Number of hours between rest stops: 3.

Number of miles between Ft Hood Texas and Cornville Maine: too many.

Amount of money spent on a Parenting magazine that had pictures of babies which entertained Abby for hours: Priceless (actually $3.50)
