Double Family Reunions

Days leading up to this trip, I was feeling pretty anxious just not knowing how the boys would do on this longest-road-trip-we've-ever-done.  It could go really bad or it could go really good and I was hoping for the latter.

When the big day came, we got the the boys up at 5 am and hit the road.     
Trip #1's Destination: Hendersonville, TN
Estimated Travel Time: 10 hours

It was so good to catch up and finally meet each other's kiddos!

Trip #2's Destination: Branson, MO with my family

Estimated Travel Time: 7-1/2 hours

I drove for 3 hours and as we were thinking of stopping for lunch, both boys fell asleep so we kept going.  I ended up driving 5 hours straight (and took one for the team) before Brian took over.
