We have decided to drive out to Idaho to visit with Nick's family before he starts his Washington job on the 27th (it will only be 8 hours for his parents home). The plan is for us to drive out there with him and fly back on the 24th. But, before the big advedture we stayed the weekend at my mom and dad's. We all three love to be able to get out there and enjoy the country. Nick (& Carson) helped my dad out by fixing his mule. I don't know what my dad would have done if he couldn't take little Carson for any more rides. That boy LOVES the vroom vroom!
Let me just tell anyone out there who is reading this....DONT EVER DRIVE 1800 MILES WITH A TODDLER AND NOT HAVE A DVD PLAYER!!! You'll never make it with your sanity in tact. :) Carson would sit back there and just giggle watching his Wiggles and Cartoons. Definatley worth every penny!
It was a long long LONG trip!!! We started out at 10pm from Newburgh and drove straight through until we made it to his grandparents home in Wyoming at 8:30 their time (9:30 our time). Then when we left there the next day we still had another 4 hours till we were at Nick's parents home. I can't tell you how much we spent in gas, but it was ALOT! We have a 2500 diesel, but luckily diesel has dropped to an average of $3.60. Mind you that is an average, we saw it less and we saw it more. We saw Unleaded in Kansas as low as $3.17! Keep in mind that is still more than it was a year ago!! They are programming us!!! They spike it up and then bring down a little so we all say "Wow, that's cheap!".
I want to brag on my wondeful husband for just a minute. :) Here we were stopped at a gas station and Nick saw this old man trying to fix his mud flap on his RV and Nick got right out and helped him. This is one of the reasons I love this man so very much...he is incredibly helpful and caring!!
