After the sledding and before the really big snow storm, we all (Kim, Jim, the kids and I) headed down to my parents house in Oklahoma. We originally planned to do it all in one day, but with news of this huge storm coming, we decided to leave an afternoon early and stay south of Kansas City for one night. That turned out to be a good choice and made the whole thing a little bit easier on all of us.
The night in the hotel with the 5 of us went better than anticipated, though Kim might feel differently. She got be cozy all night with Laura, who is a big cuddler. But Adam did pretty well in his portable crib and at least we got a break from the car for a few hours.
We stayed in a familiar hotel with a great breakfast to get us started off right and we pulled into my parents house just in time for lunch. Laura spent all except 2 hours in the car with Kim, which made the trip 100% easier. That allowed me to sit in the back with Adam and gave Kim someone to talk to on the way. Thanks Kim!
The trip back was similar. Jim, the kids and I were in Kansas at his parents house. Kim was heading home the same day, so we met at BETO junction on I35 and moved Laura over to her car. The bonus is that my mom joined us on the way home! She will stay here for a week or so and then fly out to New York to see my brother and his family. We made it back in one day and were very glad to be done driving and to be back in our own house. Poor Kim got up the next day and drove another 4 hours to her house! Thanks for bringing Mom and Laura and it was great to see you, Kim!
