I have 14 hours of free time on my hands

6:28 AM July 14, 2008

We’re off! We woke up early today and we are ready to go! Our car is loaded down (and somehow we have to get Grandpa in here on the way back). We are rested and excited about our trip. The kids are reading and RP is driving. I, of course, am typing. KN is reading over my shoulder and making her own comments about what I am writing. Hi KN. KJ just started a new book that he was looking forward to reading (but wasn’t allowed to read until we started the trip.) For some reason, on the GPS, Chick Fila is listed as our first stop. I wonder who did that? KN wants to eat lunch at Panera (I tend to agree with her). Yes, we are already talking about lunch. KJ says Hi. Our car is totally tricked out. We have a power strip, antenna TV, a computer (which is online), a GPS, 6 mp3 players, a video player or two, 2 DS’s, DVD player, etc. We should have plenty to do. I think we also brought 34,982 books.

We just went over KJ’s favorite ramp. KJ’s quote was, “I wish there were monkeys on my favorite ramp.” Don’t ask. We are now heading east on 465 and the sun is rising. Time for my sunglasses, I believe.

RP just said, “Oh we forgot to clean the windshield.”
KJ, “What are all those dots?”
"Bugs."
“They are just climbing around up there?”
“Nope, they are dead.”
“Oh that’s disgusting. They are just flying around then, ‘Boom! A Car!’”

The car in front of us has their reverse lights on at 60 mph. Should we be concerned?

I've been in the car for 20 minutes and have already created a blog. Happy Reading.
