Road Trip to Virginia

One of the many things about Chad that I love is that he is not from Kansas. He is an Army brat, as am I, and he moved around A LOT. He had the privilege of attending his three years of high school in Hampton, VA. He was in the graduating class of 1990, so this year was his 20 year high school reunion. He attended his 15 year reunion alone, as I was in the middle of teaching/packing/moving and sent him on his way. This time was different, we decided we would drive to VA and make a family vacation out of the event.

While reading all of this please remember these important details.
1. 20 hours of driving (don't forget about the 20 hours of driving back home too)
2. 1267 miles (don't forget that's another 1267 miles back home too)
3. 4 people in Chad's truck
4. 6 suitcases & many misc items
5. 4 different hotels
6. Mountain driving
7. Traffic
8. Potty breaks
9. Food & drink breaks
10. The infamous question "Are we there yet?"

All in all, the trip was fantastic. The girls did superb. Everything could not have gone smoother. I really think Chad had his doubts, but we worked through them and triumphed. Yay, for us!!
