We’ve made it through two days of trip without losing any significant items, sanity or children. We’re heading home tomorrow.
Yesterday we went to friends of Mom’s from graduate school for their renewing of vows with reception afterwards. By the end of that the kids were gettting cranky so we headed out to get some food and go to sleep. An hour later we finally managed to get to a restaurant, having spent most of that time being frustrated by the road system here. But eventually we defeated the transportation network and managed to eat.
