And by boys, I mean 2 and 4 years old. LOL Get your mind out of the gutter!
Ok, so I decided to take a road trip with my boys to Ohio to see some friends. Meeting them was great. But the whole trip was one huge lesson after another.
First – bring snacks and drinks with you in a cooler. Amongst these snacks should be plain old milk. Did you know that they now make vanilla-flavored milk???? Yeah, they do. Found out that mistake when my 2-year-old wanted his bottle and apparently, I bought POISON. LOL Thought it was milk. It was sugar milk.
Second – if you are not going to stay with family or friends, bring TOYS. Otherwise anything in the hotel room becomes a toy. very frustrating to hang up the telephone about 500 times in less than 24 hours.
Third – If your children are curious, they will not go to sleep unless the lights are off and there are no distractions. So, mommy can not read a book, watch tv, watch podcasts on my touch, or crochet. No, I had to lie in bed awake in the dark. I was so completely bored.
Fourth – Make sure to check the diaper on the 2-year-old at every stop. Especially when the stops are 20-30 miles (minutes) in between. Zach had wet pants. I hadn’t checked and screamed for 25 minutes until I could stop again. Granted this was the same time as the vanilla flavored milk incident.
Fifth – It’s best to keep adult to child ratio to one on one. LOL
Overall, it was a good trip. Not restful at all. Not very relaxing for me. But I got to meet my friends and enjoy some good beer and food. That’s good enough for me
