On the Road Again

Today we hit the road again, making the long trip down to Florida. We didn't leave until about 12:30, but had a whole lot of favor on the way down - we made it there by 7:30. The weather was perfect and Ba-Ba and Nana were there to greet us at the door. With lots of food, of course!

We rented a vehicle for this trip, a car we are thinking about buying anyway: a Toyota RAV, which turned out to be a smooth and wonderful drive. Mommy could pack more in the back, and Madison was quite comfortable in the backseat. Daddy had set up the DVD player for her, and she watched the "Little Einsteins" and "Cinderella," but also had a portable craft table where she could color and use other creative activities.

She got excited seeing the skyscrapers of Atlanta. We forget that she probably hadn't seen them in a while, so she was pointing left and right at all the towering buildings surrounding us. Traffic was no problem for us, and neither was the weather. It was smooth sailing all the way down. Daddy kept looking back in his rear view mirror at our little girl. She's growing up! She's just sitting there, so content, listening to her headphones and watching television, while eating her snacks.

It was a pretty easy trip down, and we were blessed with a lot of favor. We stopped at only a few rest areas to stretch our legs, and occasionally we'd call out to Madison in the back seat: "Hey, where are we going?"

Madison: "Disney World!"
