Last week’s adventure was crazy. I still smell yeast. I am still paying off my loan for the giant mixing bowl.

But this week’s adventure was 100% real.

Since we are moving, we decided to take a trip to North Carolina.  And my Aunt Tc came too!

The trip was estimated to be 8 1/2 hours.

Google Maps lies.

So, we left our house around 10:00 A.M. Our trip started smooth, and was going great for about 3 hours.

Then, Delaware happened.

Here is the definition of Delaware.

Del·a·ware
-A state with insane traffic

Dad-  Is that traffic!?

Mom-  It appears so!

Me, Elsa, Avery in unison- Nooooooooo!!!

We spent the next two hours in bumper to bumper traffic.

And here’s the worst part – our IPad was out of battery!

Elsa- How will we survive!!!!

Avery- What?

Well, let me just say, having three kids in a car without electronics is one of the hardest things you will ever have to do.
But, I was exceptionally good.

Oh, and we ran out of snacks.  Even though we had a lot,  we ate them all.`

Let me rephrase that.

Having three kids in a car without electronics and snacks is one of the hardest things you will ever have to do.

And, then you had me:  The announcer

You’re going 0.5 miles above the speed limit!  There is a police!  Severe traffic!

By that time, everybody was going insane.

And guess what else happened.  We were looking for a bagel place.  Normal, right?  So we followed the directions and found out the bagel place was in a military base!  Luckily, we got out alive.

But, I must admit, it was a beautiful military base.

Except for the fact it was pouring rain, we couldn’t see a foot in front of our face, and it was thundering like crazy.

Well, at least we arrived to North Carolina alive.

And yes, that was all true.

Stay tuned for our next adventure!
