Day 144: Back to The Great State

Oh. My. Word. That was the longest drive ever. We were able to get out on time but once in the car it was numerous stops. First 15 minutes in we were stopping for breakfast. Next 15 minutes we were stopping because Skylar had to go to the bathroom. Then Eva was hungry. Then dirty diapers. And on and on it went. Longest. Drive. Ever. Of course we completely forget that it's also coming up on Memorial Day weekend so that added to our misery. It's crazy how fast we blow through those smaller states but once you get into Louisiana...sheesh, it takes forever. Aside from the million stops we made, the kids did pretty good considering.

We were never so happy to see the "Welcome to Texas" sign until we hit traffic. Good ole Texas traffic. At one point, we had all 3 kids crying and I could tell Matthew was spiraling into insanity. Luckily he had just purchased in audiobook on his phone so he was able to tune them out. Kinda. But when all was said and done, we finally made it home safe and sound. And even though Destin is quite beautiful and we will miss it greatly, there truly is no place like home and it's great to be back!!
