Road Trip Day 1

We started off the summer with a 9 day, 1700 mile, road trip. We had the kids sleep in comfy clothes on Friday night so we could wake them up at 3:00 on Saturday morning to put them in the car and head to Destin, Florida to visit their Grandpa. Driving time should have been 9 1/2 hours but it took us exactly 12 hours due to 2 restroom/gas stops, 1 stop at Cracker Barrel for a hearty breakfast (yuck!) and 1 stop at McDonalds for playtime and lunch. The time flew by with all the sleeping children and the excitement of getting to the beach. DVDs and some new toys in their backpacks also helped pass the time.
As soon as we got there the girls put on the new swimsuits, hats, cover ups and sandals that were waiting for them and we headed to play on the beach.
