Today was both the best and worst day! I’d say our stops were the best so far, but the car ride was harder. You can tell it’s been seven days and everyone is getting the equivalent of cabin fever (car fever?).
We got up after our best sleep yet; camping sleep is the best! It was starting to drizzle so instead of a camping breakfast (oatmeal) we treated ourselves to Starbucks.
The first part of the trip actually went smoothly. If you’re wondering, here’s what we do in the car:
Listen to music
Listen to podcasts
Sing
Talk
Listen to stories
The girls play
Look for animals
Negotiate
Hand out snacks and eat them
Look for license plates
Look out the window
Tell Taco to sit
Play “I spy”
We stopped in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho for lunch at the most amazing park I’ve ever seen! There were different parts and the play structure was huge! And it was close to the water. We’ve also been very lucky with the weather and it was a great picnic.
The next leg of the trip was the worst! Both girls were due for a nap, A fell asleep but then something set Z off and she started screaming and woke A up. So they were both fussy for a while. They eventually fell asleep and it was ok after that. We had another time zone change which doesn’t help as it makes our days longer than they normally are, so we just keep driving and don’t realize instead of 3 or so hours it’s been 4 or so.
We found a nice state camping for the night, this is our third night of camping in a row! We’ve gotten really good at it. This campground is amazingly beautiful, calm and near a serene lake. Usually when we arrive, Husband sets up the tent and gets the camp stove started for dinner while I go to the park with the girls. Tonight I decided to switch things up and help start the fire for the camp stove. It went ok, but I don’t think I’d win in a Survivor fire challenge 😂
