Heading East

Our plan was to pack up the car Sunday and leave nice and early Monday so we could go camping. Giggle. Ok, really I tried to at least have the kids packed but there is always something that is needed at the last minute.

So, we frantically threw a bunch of clothes in bags and dumped the fridge into various plastic containers and filled our car to the brim and finally left before noon. Dang, we did get a late start. Not exactly what we had in mind. But really, we don’t need to be in Brisbane until Wednesday to pick up Seth’s parents. So time was on our side.

And so we began our trip in style. Seth drove and we told Lilly we wouldn’t eat for a few hours. We made it about two hours before we had to stop. We went for a classic McDonald’s stop. And it was oddly packed. Wouldn’t you know it, Adlai blew out his diaper. Bummer. We’ll have to wash his car seat when we get to Brisbane.

It took quite some time to get food and clean up the boy so we spent way more time at our stop for the day. At the end of the day, we really didn’t make it nearly as far as we had planned. So we still camped, just not where we had wanted. Is anyone surprised?
