Last weekend, we took the girls to visit DJ's mom and more of his family. I ended up taking a half day off work so we could leave at a decent hour for the 6 hour drive. I thought I was more prepared with the girls for our road trip, but I was totally unprepared! MC was so fussy in the car and only slept about 20 minutes. Therefore, she was whiny the rest of the trip! We downloaded movies on the ipad for the girls to watch, and stopped in Conway, so my mom could pick up our dog. We took the girls potty and bought doughnut holes, and I decided to just sit in the back with them so we could all watch a movie.
This was when Meggie was somewhat happy and entertained!
We met DJ's mom and handed the girls and their stuff off to her, so we could make it to a high school play that DJ's sister choreographed. DJ's dad and stepmom were also there, and the play was so good! I was very impressed, and she did a great job with the choreography. Afterwards, we all went out and grabbed a bite to eat.
Saturday morning, the girls were up early, but DJ and I were able to sleep in a bit thanks to his mom! She cooked us breakfast, and we had a lazy morning. We ended up going to eat at El Acapulco (one of our favorite Mexican restaurants when we were in college) and then DJ took the girls back to his mom's so they could nap.
I managed to get to my high school friend's consignment store and stocked up on dresses and Matilda Jane clothes for the girls! I totally overspent, but I was getting a good bargain!
Afterwards, I went to visit my college friend who was Matron of Honor in our wedding. She just had her first baby girl, and I wanted to see them!
The girls were able to play outside for a bit at his mom's house, and then we went to his sister's house for more play time, and for dinner.
My brother in law made chicken fajita's- he's such a good cook, and my mother in law made a taco dip and chex mix! They also had chocolate chip cookie bars- yum!
Sunday morning we got up and got dressed, and headed out around noon. We drove around our college campus to see how much it's changed and then stopped to eat at Firehouse subs per DJ's request.
The ride home was just about as interesting as the drive over! G had to go potty about 45 minutes after we had gotten in the truck, and there was nothing but soybean fields everywhere! We pulled over and let her go on the side of the road, and then 40 minutes later she was telling us she had to potty again!
MC was entirely too fussy and just would not fall asleep! We may or may not have purchased Benedryl during the next potty stop.
She finally fell asleep and slept for about two hours.
Our original plan was to stop back by my mom's house and pick up the dresser we purchased for Adalyn, and to pick up our dog, but we were just so ready to get home!
I think we made it home around 8, and I knew the girls wouldn't go straight to bed so we let them play outside for a little bit while DJ unpacked the truck.
I'm so glad that we were able to make the drive over to Jonesboro. I'll be honest that the car ride sucked, but I know we won't be able to make it this summer, and it's so important that we make a point to get over there to visit family!
Hopefully, i'll be more prepared for the next road trip!
