Before the summer craziness starts for us, we wanted to take a short trip to a fun place to commemorate Aden's 5th birthday and our last year of freedom from school obligations. We made him choose where he wants to go...I tried to convince him to go to Disneyland since we've never been, but he was adamant that he wants to go back to Legoland. Since we love San Diego so much, he didn't have to twist our arms! So, we packed up our "new one car" as Kadence calls it and headed south. The kids surprises me with every trip that we make. I was a little anxious about the 18 hour drive, but they did AMAZING. We left Portland at 5pm, after a long dinner/gas/pit stop in Medford, I took the 10pm-3am shift (which Darin said worked perfectly for him since I'm such a night owl!). He took over after that and drove us all the way to SD. We got there at 11am, with all the stops! Our kids slept through the night (they were both excited to sleep in the car, especially with the new neck pillow I made them), did activities/books and they were so well behaved and patient that we turned on the DVD on the last hour of the trip just to give them a reward for being so good! They just are the perfect travellers - they are so excited about the destination that no matter how long our journey is, they so appreciate it. We are one lucky parents!
