Road Trippin'

Day 1

The Bugaboo was a little trooper on our two day drive. About 30 minutes from home was the first time she asked, "Are we almost there?"

She also did great emotionally. I am amazed at what a strong little person she is. She talked about Nana and Uncle J. quite a bit. Every now and then she would have a mini break down, getting anxious and worried and wanting to see Nana, or wondering when we were going back to Nana's. Each time this would happen after only a couple minutes, literally 1 or 2, she would say something she was excited for at her new house and cheer herself back up, ie: "We'll see bunnies at the house?" She's amazing!

Her first moment of anxiety came about 2-3 hours after we left. We were just pulling through a little town and saw a Dairy Queen. We said, "Let's go get some ice cream, and you can call Nana and tell her all about the ice cream." This did the trick, and turned things around.

Ironically when we were in Dairy Queen this is what our cups had printed on them:

"When I'm sad I get a blizzard......."

".....When I'm happy I get two!"

Most of M-Bug's anxiety over missing Nana occurs at bed time. At the hotel on day 1 she cheered herself up by following Nana's strict instructions:

"Make sure you jump on the bed when you get to the hotel."

Day 2
The funnest part about road trips is all the crazy souvenirs at gas stations.

We had fun on this stop.

Lunch at Subway

The M-Bugs sandwich creation:

Turkey, Pickles, Olive, & CHEETOS!

She saved a little dish of olives for Uncle J in her purse.
