Travel (Part TWO)

We made it back to Florida! The second part of our trip back home went well and probably better than the first part (part one here). On the way home we decided to split the drive so that the first day we drove more hours than the second... opposite of what we did on the way to New York. This was definitely the better option! After hyping the kids up for the "next" big trip we woke up bright and early to hit the road and it was a good thing we were leaving that day because it was a cold 48 degrees!! The kids slept great for the first two hours which makes for easy travel. We made minimal stops and listened to zootopia for the 100th and 101st times.. it is always a lot of fun to listen to the same movie over and over especially with there is a great song to sing along too (said no one ever). Parker also did very well but we could tell she was at the point of "get me out of this car seat". Our stop for the night included swimming and a first for eating at Jack in the Box. I was so proud of the twins, they made up a bed for themselves on the floor without being asked and they went to sleep so well. We all slept really well that night and woke up refreshed and ready to go the next morning. A short eight and a half hour drive and we would be home... YES!!! Only a few stops, more zootopia, and some running around the rest stop and we made it home sweet home!
We had a great time in New York ... post to come soon ... but I always think part of the adventure is the trip to get there and back. Let me tell you toddlers get very funny when they are tired and have been in the car for more than a few hours. My sister in-law and I had a lot of fun laughing at the kids and trying to find music to listen to during the short periods of time we had with out a movie playing.
The kids are all recovered with the exception of Parker ...she still gets a bit upset when she first gets in the carseat, I'm hoping she gets over it soon! I have finally finished unpacking and laundry is all but done... We are super glad to be home and back into our normal routine ... just in time to start getting ready for school!
