We drove to PA today to go fossil hunting again. The air conditioner in the rocketsled died on Thursday so the boys got to experience the same type of trip I had when I was a little girl. A hot, stuffy car where the windows seem to do nothing. It was much nicer to be in the front seat. I now understand why my folks always called out to us in the backseat, “It’s not that bad”. Ah, being the parent. You get the benefit of sitting in the front seat but you also have to listen to the kids arguing in the back, deal with the traffic, maps, and tolls.
The boys were really well-behaved on the trip. It’s not a long trip, maybe two hours with the leisurely pace we decided to take. We’re in the hotel now and the first thing the boys did was ask if the television had Cartoon Network. Hubby had suggested we go to the park today to scout out the location, but he’s sleeping on the bed. I think we’ll be lucky to make it over to the Cracker Barrel for dinner.
The nicest thing of all is that we are all relaxing. There is no schedule. I’m not even going to make one, other than to make sure we get downstairs for the breakfast by 8am tomorrow. We can always come back upstairs to the room after we eat and finish getting ready for our adventure. I packed nice and light. A lot of the bags were actually filled with food and drinks. The room has a mini-fridge and microwave. Mini-fridge is now filled. When the boys finally looked in it, they initially thought it came magically filled with everything they love. Then they put it together that I must have filled it.
Oldest son is thrilled that the accent wall in the hotel room is orange.
Youngest son is thrilled that he and I went to the room first and he got to claim which side of the bed he wanted.
All I hope is that we find some fossils tomorrow. And that I stop sneezing. Terrible day for an allergy attack.
