We began our trip like every vacation I took with my family when I was growing up - late. We wanted to leave at 9:00, but it was 11:00 before we got on the road. It took us six hours to get to San Marcos due to road closures and potty stops. The drive was rough and the boys screamed for most of it. I'm kicking myself for not taking them on longer trips when they were infants. Now they hate being in the car for more than 30 minutes. It also turns out that Luke has a touch of motion sickness. Not fun!!!
We made it to Lynn's and had a great evening with her and Craig. They made an awesome dinner for us and we had fun catching up.
The boys had a great time playing in her back yard. They found rocks and sticks and bugs. Lynn was right behind them every step because it turns out she has a few scorpions in her yard. I'm glad I didn't know that until the end of the evening. They explored until it got dark and we had to go back to our hotel.
You would think that after such a busy day they would go right to sleep. No. It turns out that they were excited and couldn't sleep no matter how hard we tried to make the room dark and quiet. We finally had to go to bed with them to get them to calm down. All in all it was a good day and we were looking forward to Sunday when we would meet Lynn and go to the river.
Tune in tomorrow for Part 2.
