Starting Our Long Journey

Two weeks ago we started our long drive to Santa Fe, NM. A few days before we left town we found out our van has a couple 'leaks' but that it would probably make the trip okay as long as we took extra fluids with us. The next day our engine light came on, we weren't off to a great start. My parents offered for us to use one of their vehicles and since we now have not just one, but two children we decided to err on the side of caution and good judgement and accept the offer.
After driving all night and into the morning we finally made it. We actually made pretty good time, 10 1/2 hours, and we only had to make one stop for gas.

The kids actually ended up awake for a lot of the trip but they did an incredible job and made traveling a lot easier than I thought it would be.

We were all exhausted by the time we got there.



Ardon even fell asleep in this booth when we stopped to grab something to eat.

Ah, sleep sweet sleep!

Even though we've been back for a week it feels like we're still trying to catch up.
