We survived step 1! Jon and I woke up early Thursday morning and loaded the kids up. We got on the road at about 3:15.
My goal was to stop every 4 hours and make the trip in under 20hours.
We gave Charlie 2 Dramamine and hoped for the best.
Spoiler alert she did not sleep a wink until 8pm. It seems Chuck laughs in the face of Dramamine. she did, however, find herself in a water/juice chugging competition with herself making our potty stops abundant.
All in all the kids both did amazing considering. Why not? They had 2 butlers taking turns booty‘s in the air rolling about the car fetching snacks and toys every 5 seconds.
BUT after
4 g-tube feeds
2 barfs
6 states
Too many twizzlers and sumo oranges
2 drivers
200 questionable YouTube shows
1 murder podcast
The rekindled love of scream singing in the car
Multiple personalities
A car hood photo shoot somewhere around hotlanta
Only 1 scary moment we thought the car was dead
Lots of Chuck calling out people not wearing masks at truck stops….
WE MADE IT.
Rolled into Tampa at around 12:15.
Our first goal is complete.
Now we spend two more nights in Tampa before we head to a house in St. Petersburg. We are going to live it up with Milo and Charlie experiencing as much as possible before we report to the hospital.
Life is too short, and we are making the most of it while we can. As safely as possible!
