Road Trip

We made a long over due trip to Ashland this past weekend with the boys for the first time in a year. I was dreading the drive because the boys have recently been saying "out, out," any time we are in the car for more than 20 minutes, let alone 5 plus hours. To my amazement, they did absolutely great!! We left around their nap time and stopped in Eugene for dinner at McDonald's, which they loved and let them run around the Gateway Mall (amazing people watching). Then it was back in the car to watch an Elmo video. They went to sleep for about an hour before we arrived in Ashland. They had a great time at Grandpa and Grandma's house. They loved the park, where Carter discovered it was more fun to walk up slides and Jacob tried to see how fast he could go down it. They also had a great time searching for Grandpa's kitty - George. I was expecting them to cry the whole way home since we never get that lucky, but they did so good. We almost made it all the way home without stopping. They sure proved me wrong!
