Road Trip Day 2 & 3

The girls had so much fun at the end of day two playing with Madison, Sam and Ande.



As we continued down the highway on day two of our road trip, things kept on going well. We were able to stop in Little Rock to meet up with a good friend of Pete's for lunch at Jason's Deli. Jason's is another restaurant that is very much missed by our entire family. We found that it was a good idea to actually get out of the car for lunch. Initially, we had planned on eating both breakfast and lunch in the car. But we stopped for lunch on both days. The girls were needing that little break from the car. And it felt great to get out and move around and not be stuck in our seats.
We arrived at our friend's Aaron and LE Yanelli in Dallas at just a little past 5pm. Pete thought we could probably drive all the way through, but I did not think that was a good idea. But we were both happy that we decided to stop. It was so great to be able to visit with friends- for both us and the girls.
We left their house around 8:30am and arrived at my moms at 1pm. It was SO EASY- especially since we had been spending 12 hours in the car for the past two days!
We will definitely do the drive again. We are not dreading our drive back home. I think it will go just as well. And it is such a good family bonding time for us. The girls love staying in a hotel and look forward to staying in one again on the way home. We will stop in Tennessee again and then in Virginia. Hopefully we do not get stuck in traffic for too long on that Sunday after Thanksgiving.
Alli said her favorite part about the road trip was swimming. She actually swam in the deep for the first time! Tori said her favorite part was coloring in car. And I am sure if Katie would fully understand the question, she would say eating snacks whenever she wanted.
