Day trip!

Started the day off packing a bag for Grace to entertain her on our 4+ hour drive and getting ready! Seems my ice didn't completely freeze, but that's okay. We survived! 4+ hours in a car, can ya guess where we went? I'll drop more clues as I talk about the car trip!

Passing by the exit for old Sturbridge village made me realize just how far we were going, and we still had a long time to travel! We got on 84 and kept driving! First stop, Connecticut welcome center, to stretch legs, change a diaper and walk around a bit! Surprisingly Grace had done very well thus far!


Going down 95, just before exit 42 in connecticut we saw a deer watching the cars as they passed by! How adorable! She was on the small side and oh so adorable! Hope she didn't try to cross!

We crossed over into New York and headed to our destination - Broadway! Okay so we weren't going to SEE anything being preformed on Broadway, we had a little restaurant in mind - Steak N Shake! Right next to the Late Show studio. Yeah we essentially drove 4+ hours to eat at a steak and shake. Now let me save my brother some trouble, it was tiny, crowded and not like the ones in Florida. Even the food wasn't that spectacular. But it was an experience I won't soon forget I'm sure. We walked around Broadway a little, but with a toddler that had been cooped up in a car for so long it was a short visit (not to mention it was getting close to 5 and we wanted to start heading home). We've already discussed doing a weekend down there at some point when money is a little freer and we can splurge a little :-). But of course I still sent pictures to people I kept hoping to make jealous lol. And of course we stopped at Roy Rogers at exit 1 off I-84. And yup pictures were sent to the appropriate people again :-)

Grace did wonderful in the car for the whole trip! I was so proud of her! She spent 8+ hours in a car today and she did spectacular! I, on the other hand, had a killer headache and started to feel sick on the way home. Napped for like 20 minutes while Grace played on the 3DS and then nibbled some peanut butter crackers and at least my stomach settled, 2 grams of tylenol and my head was still killing me. Took an Ativan when I got home so hopefully that helps.

I guess this will be the last time I tell Scott I wanna do something fun lol! Especially when I know he's itching to go to steak and shake lol! But all in all it was a good day. And I'm glad I got to spend it with my 2 favorite people. Even if it was in a car hehe.

Sweet dreams and be well...
