Another Road Trip

We got on the I-5 again this weekend, but headed in the other direction for LA for Chinese New Year. Mckayla did very well on the road but we made few more stops this time. First stop was for Ted. Shortly after we made it over the Pacheco Pass, Ted had already his morning coffee and it’s diuretic effects had kicked into full gear. So we had to pull over for a short stop at the gas station. Mckayla fell asleep shortly after we got back on the road until we were half way down to LA. We pulled over and took a lunch break In N’ Out. About half an hour after we got back on the road, Mckayla started to cry out of control and Ted thought she had pooped in her diaper. So we pulled over again to change her diaper. But it was completely misread, all she wanted was her bottle of milk. So we got back on the road again. Right before we hit the Grapevine, we pulled over Starbucks to refuel and also let Mckayla out to stretch out her legs. While we waited for our drinks, Mckayla made a new friend and had lots of fun in the coffee shop. We got back on the road again, and we finally made it to Ted’s parents’ house six and a half hour later. We could have made it there earlier with less stops and it was mostly Ted’s fault (stop #1 and #3).

    I detect a little animosity.

      Just a little, but we made with just one stop for lunch on the way back because Mckayla slept for the first three hours.
