the traveler

Drew was a trooper on this very looong (30 hour round trip) drive to California and back.  Actually, so were we as our main job (if you weren't driving) was to entertain the sweet little guy who has never been in love with his carseat or slept very long or very well in the car.

Here he is on the floor at the IHOP in Fairfield, California.  Just 45 minutes away from our final destination (for the evening) of Oakland.  This is actually kind-of a low point for Drew.

Here are some things we found to keep Drew busy in the car between his short naps, pit stops, and tantrums. 

Sweet little guy.

And speaking of an amazing traveler...

I am proud to say, our 2006 Ford (not cool) Freestar traveled in temperatures of up to 114 degrees carrying 3 bikes on the back, a jogger and a baby bike seat on top, and 6 people inside--all the while playing DVDs, charging ipads and iphones, supporting a GPS, AND cranking out cool air.  I mean, talk about AMAZING. 

Sweet little thing.
