Day Sixteen

Today was our final long day of driving! 

We left Flagstaff, Arizona and spent the full day driving to Palmdale, California. Teddy did amazing in the car, which is a trend for him, he has such a happy and cooperative attitude and is very go with the flow (when he's not throwing up anyway). Henry did fairly well! The same as he usually does (required a lot of attention, asked a million questions, requested snacks repeatedly, etc.) We made a couple stops for gas and lunch and got to the hotel about 4pm and had a small world moment! The gentleman at the front desk saw my New Hampshire drivers license and told us he's from Gilford, New Hampshire! What are the odds of that? Our NH connection got us some complimentary bottles of water and pretzels (score!), and we settled into the room. I swear the boys are like caged animals after we get out of the car and into the hotel room after a day of driving. I want to be understanding and let them go crazy without barking at them to be quiet, etc. but the reality is it's a hotel and there are other people here that might not feel as positively about it as I would. Thankfully we get the keys to our rental tomorrow morning and our rental does not share any walls with any neighbors so they will be free to go nutty and hopefully no one will care!

The movers called and our belongings won't be delivered until 8/6 so we'll be roughing it for a week or so on air mattresses but it's no problem! Thankfully we have everything we needed for the past 16 days in the SUV so we'll be just fine. I got a call today from a pre-k I had waitlisted Henry for, that they have an opening for the school year, so that counterbalanced the movers delay with some good news.

I'm not feeling overly creative or wordy tonight so rather than ramble I'll end here; Time for bed! Stay tuned!
