Last year I thought it would be fun to take a road trip with a dear friend. It was sopposed to be like the good old days of college. Wind in our hair, full tank of gas, and freedom. We ended up taking 3 adults and 4 kids under the age of 2. It was maddness and we came home a day early. This year we decided to do it again and just have lower expectations. This time there were 2 adults and 4 kids ages 2, 2, 10 months and 6 months. We did not get good sleep and we still when home a day early. I thought the best part was the drive. It was great to hang out with my friend while all of our wild kids were straped into their carseats. I laughed so much that my face hurt. There is nothing like good friends. ADVENTURE CLUB 4EVER!

This is Jon, Mya, and Ruby. After this shot there was a little fight about who gets to sit on the moose.

The kids loved playing at the park. Part of lower expectations was bringing our food, not eating out, and not shopping for groceries.

On the way home we added 3 or 4 more hours to our drive by stopping in parks, visiting family, using the potty, taking detours, calling Triple A, and giving some people from Utah a battery jump.
I think we will be going again next year with even lower expectations and maybe more help from our husbands....
