Summer Vacation: Day Two

What can I say about Tuesday, day two, of our travels to Columbus, GA?

Late late start. Meltdowns. Frequent stops. Late late night. 

That about sums it up! It actually sounds worse then it was but it was a more challenging day. We finally left St. Louis around 10:30 and rolled into Birmingham, AL at 11:30 that night. 

I only have one photo from the day, here is Aiden opening one of his presents after lunch at a park. He "looks" upset but really, this kid has the cheesiest smile I have ever seen. He was elated to get his Lightening McQueen stickers. 

Parents traveling with small children: stickers. Stickers. Stickers. He needed help peeling them but then I had a stroke of brilliance and I peeled off the middle parts that surround each sticker. Then of course, that was cooler than the actual sticker. Ha!

We also had a Wal-Mart stop for a few things and to stretch our legs. We rolled into Nashville, TN around 6:00 pm and after about 30 minutes of trying to find a mall to run around, we gave up and went to Chipotle. Delicious! 

(Side note: does anyone else's child(renlove beans?! Aiden DEVOURED his black beans. I hate beans!)

Knowing we wanted to roll into Columbus, GA somewhat early on Wednesday, we drove into Birmingham, AL and checked in at 11:30 pm. Kids were already asleep so it didn't take too long for us to settle in. 

Whew. Day two. Done.
