Road Trip

We drove down Sautrday, arriving Sunday in Newnan Georgia. We came back Friday Feb. 23rd, and arrived in NYC Saturday. It took about 19 hours both ways to drive the 920 miles. William puked twice going down, and Andrew puked twice coming back. I'm not the young person who could drive what took me 14 hours, by myself. I definitely needed Zane to help me drive, I got so tired, and next time we'll fly or take 2 days to do it. The boys did pretty well, they did much better than I expected, even though it's painful when they cry, and they had so much energy when we stopped.

Grandma, Grandpa, David, Nancy, Braxton, David and Molly were all a joy to see. We didn't do much except spend time together. The boys enjoyed the space inside and outside. Andrew got interested in playing with the cars while they were parked. William said, when Andrew was nowhere near him, "Andrew is kicking me." Braxton came over to about an hour and played, running around the SUV, and playing with the trains. Molly reported on some cute things he said. The newlyweds came by one evening, after the boys and Diana fell asleep. I wish them happiness in their marriage, we regretted now being able to come down for it. Grandma gave me a copy of the newspaper article with all it's quaint small town details. David stopped by every evening, and it was good to see him. I think Grandma cried the most saying goodbye to her son Zane, my father, but she will miss us all. I hope our hordes invading didn't disrupt their routines too much. They were kind and generous in our visit with them.

We went one day to a lovely park, that had 3 playgrounds, the biggest one was amazing. Otherwise we were home bodies. Next time maybe we'll spend some time in Atlanta, with all that has to offer.

Zane was a trooper, never complaining and helpful. He caught the cold everyone's had. The boys and I still have it lingering.

At home, our house is in disarray. The remodeling is taking longer. The counter will take 2 weeks to get, and we're not going to be able to use the sink till that's installed properly. All our stuff is moved out of that area to take the appliances and shelves and whatnot. They're working on it now, on a Saturday. Diana took the boys over to her parents. Zane and I will swing by and give him some last minute time with the boys before he flies off today. Thanks to him for all his material and presence support.

It was in the 60's in Atlanta yesterday. It's in the 20's here in NYC. Yikes!
