Road Trip

Our road trip went so ridiculously smoothly I could hardly believe it. Our car functioned beautifully, gas prices were moderate everywhere, the kids were so perfect in the car it was like a commercial with good kids. We found our campgrounds with no trouble, there was always space and most of them were very  nice. We met some lovely Israelis and some [interesting] Arkansans. No one got hurt or sick or sad and there were minimal arguments (none I can think of). Both kids slept like rocks in the tent all nights. We camped a total of five nights, stayed one night in a hotel due to a veritable monsoon in Texas/Oklahoma, and stayed two nights at a lovely quaint bed and breakfast. By the end, we were dirty and craving real food, but I was impressed by my ability to plan a road trip that long with two babies and how well it was executed, with minimal iPad help.

Here are some pictures (from one camera, at least):
