We did it again! We were ready in an hour and a half! But even better, we were up an hour earlier, so we were on the road an hour earlier. You'd think we would have made better time, too. But not so. Traveling with children hinders quick progress. Especially when they are uncooperative and require many a time out. I think today was the worst travel day, yet. Or maybe we just didn't tolerate as much poor behavior.

Our destination changed. We veered off our I - 80 course and went north to my cousin's house near Lansing, MI. We where going to see them on our way out, but it didn't work out. So, we made a change and stopped now. It's only for one night, but it's good to see them and their "new" house. New to them two years ago and old in age. We got here around 5:00 PM. I had thought it was 4:00 but forgot to account for the time change.

Tomorrow will be our shortest drive, about 4 hours. And we get to stay a day without driving. Ellie and Josh are surely tired of being in the car. We are too.
