VA to UT

WOW what a LONG drive it was to get from VA to UT with two little kids. Luckily we bought a dvd player for the car and Matt got a new Nintendo DS. We've since hidden the DS since he became addicted to it 24/7.
We had stayed a few nights up at my cousins near DC while we were in the move out process. On February 4th we started our drive to UT, we got up and left at 5:30 in the morning and drove to Lexington KY to stay the night with Wayne's cousins. The kids had fun running around and playing with cousins. The next day we drove to St. Louis and stayed the night there so Wayne could see one of his old friends from Lejuene. We took the kids swimming which was so fun for them after being in the car all day.
The next day we drove to WY....the LONGEST drive EVER! Not fun with a little girl who has a cold and can scream really loud and four hours on end...that and with an almost 7 month pregnant woman.....poor Wayne!
Finally on the 7th we made it to UT. When we were driving into Brigham Matt recognized where we were and said look mom it's Grandpas and grandmas mountains! He was SO excited to finally be there and was even more excited when we pulled up to the house! To bad grandma and grandpa were at work....he was a bit mad they weren't home.
So we stayed for a month and visited with Friends and family and just tried to relax before the next drive to Cali.
