Mia, Logan, and I began our driving journey from the Florida Keys to Minnesota around 7:30 in the morning. Our first stop... gas and then Krispy Kreme Doughnuts for coffee, bagels, and oatmeal. No doughnuts that early on our road trip though!
A couple of miles into the road trip, Mia got a bellyache so we stopped at a rest stop for half an hour. She thought she was going to puke and I seriously considered turning around and going home. But she rallied and we continued our drive. We needed another potty break a bit later and I pulled off on some deserted exit. Found a cool sign- good photo opportunity- and then pee'ed in the woods. Logan enjoyed that!
Later, we met up with our travel buddies, the Friedmans, at another rest stop for a snack. The children were revived.
Eventually, the kids wanted lunch so we stopped at a Chick-fil-a for some indoor playground fun and chicken soup with waffle fries.
After many stops and hours later, we arrived at La Quinta for some swimming fun with our friends. Late in the evening, we ended with a pizza party and Ice Age movie in our hotel room.
Overall, a long, but decent first road trip day.
