Homeward Bound

We left for Minnesota on Wednesday, March, 18th. The night before was a little hectic to say the least. The previous day, Dan was unsure if he was going to be coming along for the trip home and it was decided that if he came with then we would leave on Wed., if he didn't come with I was going to leave with both kids on Thursday morning. Tuesday was a crazy day, I had a feeling that Dan was going to come with, so I was doing laundry like a mad woman and trying to get lists of what we needed. Tuesday night I also had a HOA board meeting and was trying to prepare for that as well, this would also be the first night that Dan would be left home alone with both kids and right at Katelynn's bedtime, it was definitely going to test Dad's patience! Dan came home from work and decided that, yes, he was going to go and so the packing started, the house was slightly chaotic and then I left for the HOA meeting. Thank goodness the meeting was only an hour long because when I got home my house was a disaster, Dan was trying to put Katelynn to bed and Junior was screaming - this was exactly what I thought I would be coming home to. I got Katelynn to bed and packed the rest of the suitcases, washed bottles and packed diaper bags and then had a beer before I went to bed - whew. We ended up being so tired that we got a late start in the morning - 8am. Prepared for the 16 hour drive, we left, with a lot of excitement, but could not have imagined what was in store for us.
