Nana and Papa

Billy's parents have been great the last 4 years to travel 430 miles one way every 2-3 months to come visit us and Billy's brother in the Dallas area. We've had ASD issues to learn to manage and adding our third little guy. 

For Labor Day weekend, we felt we were ready to make the trip. My inlaws live in a small town of about 17,000 people.  The time spent and activities done have a hometown, simpler slow down times to them. It's not extravagant, expensive or new. 

We packed oh so much food since they don't have a specialty health food store and we couldn't garauntee access to gluten/ dairy free foods. 


We left Friday morning after breakfast and made better time (8 1/2 hours) then the last trip 4 years ago (11hours) with minimal whining or complaining. Tablets with videos and games loaded helped lots, plus snacks , silly songs, car games and small cat naps. 


When we arrived , hugs all around with some running and playing to get energy out before bed time. 



At bed time, our older two boys shared a bed and room for the first time. They were almost as excited as the two year old in a big full size bed. 


Successful travel day, ya!
