Day 8
This was the day that we got stuck on the highway driving home. On a normal day, the drive takes us two and a half hours. So, by the time we got stuck we had already been in the car for an hour and a half and adding another hour or so sitting still was not ideal with two young children. When we finally made the decision to spend the night in the hotel, the girls were ready to burn off some energy. The beginning of our stay was a little rocky with some issues with sharing, rough play, and just generally being a bit wild. When the girls decided to calm down and "write", I was very pleased...I called it the calm AFTER the storm.
