On The Road

We had grand plans of getting up early today and hitting the road to Linda and Leland's house.  Since we were all up late watching fireworks, we slept in a bit later than we had planned, then hurried up and hit the road.

Here we are, loaded and ready to go.  Liam is hiding behind my head - darn rear facing carseats make it tough to get him in pics.  Safety, blah blah blah. :)


The boys played trucks to pass the time.

 


They read books.


And when we tried to convince Karsten to take a nap, this was his protest. Liam was already asleep.


I searched Yelp for lunch options so we could have something other than fast food.  We ended up at Moukas, a coffeehouse and restaurant.  It was very good and they had fantastic iced tea.  Ever since I gave up my Diet Dr Pepper habit in May, I'm a big fan of good iced tea.

The boys enjoyed being out of the car and able to walk around.  They were good at lunch, so we got sugar cookies for dessert.  After dessert, they didn't want to get back in the car, but when we reminded them that they get to see Grandma and Grandpa soon, they gave in.  On the road again!
