1st Family Road Trip

Owen's excited; he has no idea that a 6 hour road trip is in store for him. I think the excitement wore off at around hour 4 or so and he didn't care about the beach anymore. All was well when we actually got to the beach though (more on that later).


I'm also excited, despite my knowledge of the time commitment. I had a lot to look forward to: our first road trip as a family, going back to San Diego, my Dad & Carol and Nick & Tanya occupying the same space and time as us, Sea World with Owen & the fam, and lastly, giving our new car a chance to shine (Nice, comfortable road-tripper and 38 mpg round-trip to boot).


Pit stops take on a new dimension when traveling with potty training toddlers, though. To his credit, Owen was by and large a rock star the entire trip, even when he had reason not to be (again, more on that later).

Pit stop!

Smart- just bring the potty along with ya. (We won't be searching for rest stops.) Good thinking Mom and Dad. Trina
