We did it. We survived our first real road trip with both kids! And they are both still alive!! Last week we headed to Dexter, MI to visit with Aunt Judy and Uncle Joe for a few days. Being our first road trip we decided to travel overnight, thinking the kids would sleep the whole way. Jack didn't fall alseep till about 10pm, Megan woke up as soon as we pulled off for our 1st gas stop. Finally about 12:30 both kids we're sound asleep and I was driving with peace and quiet, until we hit the Indiana/Michigan boarder. I think I must have driven into a monsoon. It was raining so hard and lighting like crazy. Everytime lightning would strike it would blind you. So we spent about 20 minutes under an over pass while truckers flew by. We finally made it to MI only to find that the storm had knocked out power at Judy and Joe's. So we spend the first 2 days of our vacation trying to find COOL activities. We visited the Ann Arbor Children's Museum. We picked fresh Michigan blueberries. And for Darrell's birthday, Joe and Darrell took a fishing trip out on Lake Erie. We had a great time and a big thanks to Judy, Joe, and the whole MI crew for their hospitality!!
