Landon's expression pretty much sums it up. We rocked this road trip! A short six hour drive is all the stood between us and our new home in southern Arizona. So, we hit the road early, the kids both took a morning nap. We lunched at McDonald's. (Read here about how the kids were completely over our picnic lunches.) Then we hit the road again and made it into our new town between one and two in the afternoon. I mentioned in my road trip prep that I was planning daily new gifts for Landon to help encourage good behavior in the car. Here are the pictures of him each day.
Day 1 - Superman notebook and pencil.
Day 2 - Superman stickers & pencil case.
Day 3 - Dinosaur Train book.
Day 4 - Superman Wallet & a pop-up book.
So, we arrive in Arizona. First stop was to pick up keys to our rental house. Second stop - home!
Some notes to myself for the next time we PCS:
-Make sure power/water/gas are turned on at your new location before arrival.
-Easy road trip does now mean easy first week in new home.
-Your household goods will NOT show up when you think they will.
-Packing mattresses in our trailer - BEST. DECISION. EVER. (although a couch would be nice too.)
-Coffee pot should be unpacked first with toys.
-Pack a TV next time.
-Oh, and schedule TV/internet hookup ASAP.
Ok, road trip over. New mission - find daycare/preschool, sign up for gym, and find way to pass the time until our stuff ever arrives aannnnnddddd....sleep.
Yes, I need lots more sleep.
