Our Christmas vacation started off with a horrendous drive 1/2 way to our destination. Instead of taking 6-7 hours to make it to Cincinnati, it took us 8 hours to make it to Lafayette. Less than 20 miles to Lafayette, we called and made a hotel reservation. Two hours later, we arrived at the hotel. We told Lucas that we would be sleeping there for the night, but when Mommy asked him to take his coat off, he responded with "No, coat on". He finally warmed up to the place after a bit and took his coat off. After a dinner of mostly french fries, Lucas and Daddy laid down on the King-size bed. Unfortunately, Lucas didn't want to go to sleep until Mommy joined him and Megan wasn't ready yet. After Megan finally fell asleep and Mommy got Megan in her carrier (no baby beds left at the hotel), Mommy and Lucas joined Daddy to sleep. Lucas must have had plenty of room in the bed as Mommy and Daddy woke up in the morning with Lucas upside down. After breakfast at IHOP, we continued our drive to Cincinnati with a much better outcome ... only taking the expected 3 hours to make it the rest of the way. Mommy and Daddy were very proud of how well Lucas and Megan did for being stuck in the car for 8 hours straight! Our kids are awesome!
