STOP, GO U TUrN. . .

When I was a kid My mom and Grandma took me, my brother, sister and aunt (who is my sisters age) on a trip to San Francisco. In the course of the trip, we got lost A LOT! Naturally, being kids we kept asking are we there yet.. their response sit back and look at the scenery. We came up with song. . .

STOP - GO - U Turn - Look at the Scenery!

Well now, I am happy to say my kids have enjoyed a similar trip, luckily they are not old enough to hound me with a song for the rest of my life! Sorry MOM:)

A friend and I decided to head down to Cincinnati, with all six of our children, ages 5yrs - 9 months. We hit a few bumps, and detours along the way. When your engrossed in good conversation, laughter, DVD players dying like flies, and 6 kids it is easy to do. The question for this Tangent is. . .

HAS ANYONE SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

We were about 3 minutes from our Exit (it was the next one), We were in the fast lane and just about to get over, but the silly car behind us just wouldn't slow down. When Suddenly the Fast Lane turns into this little "Express Lane"! I can't tell you how many miles we went but it was a good 10 minutes before the "Express Lane" merged back in with all the other lanes on the freeway. Luckily when we got to IKEA the lady in the play area let Buster in even if he was a smidgen short, so we had 1 hour to shop with just two little Babes! After an hour of shopping and a few more detours we made it home! We had a BLAST!
