Day One--Good Travelers
I hate having to eat my words.
We have absolutely had the BEST day. Seriously.
In 2001, I wrote a column about taking the family on the road to the very same destination to which we are traveling now. In it, I detailed our packing list.
Wow, a lot of things have changed since 2001. The kids packed for themselves. They were able to articulate when they had to go to the bathroom or got hungry. We had interesting conversations with them and spent a lot of time laughing. The weather was good and we made excellent time. Some really funny things happened, about which I will write more tomorrow. AND, I discovered I can knit in the car and not get carsick. It was just a really good day.
I do know that this probably dooms us to a travel day tomorrow that will defy description in its horribleness, but right now, I'm really proud of my good little travelers. In my family, that's the highest compliment you can pay someone.

Save trip my friend.
I would go insane if I couldn't read or knit in the car. Just insane. I feel sooo sorry for people who can't.
