On the road again

We left Virginia on Friday the 18th and drove 14 hours to Mississippi to my brother's house. Then Saturday we drove 7 hours to east Texas and yesterday after 5 more hours we finally arrived at "Grammy" and "Pop"s house in New Braunfels. 3 days on the road with 3 little girls is quite fun! We are growing in patience and inner-automobile-flexibility-and-dexterity-movements.

Not sure if we'll be posting many pictures while we are on the road. My 5 followers might have to wait, in eager anticipation, 2 weeks till we get back to Virginia! Hopefully if we don't share photos, we'll post fun stories of our adventures. We have 3 different Christmases planned, in 3 different parts of the state of Texas, spending 3 days with each side of our family, in a span of a week and half and then we'll have 3 more days of driving to get back home. That combined with our crazy 3 girl crew (and my brother's 4 kid crew that we're caravanning with) will surely provide some interesting stories!

(Side note: 3 is a holy, perfect number in the Bible. Our trip is filled with 3s, yet holy and perfect are not the adjectives that come to mind when I think about this adventure!)

Merry Christmas to all till we post again!

Whew! I'm tired just READING about your crazy holiday plan. Sounds like you're fixin' to make a LOT of memories...can't wait to see the photographic evidence!

Merry Christmas, Driskells!

Sounds like you have a fun (and very memorable!) trip in store. You are a brave, brave woman. My pinnacle of inter-automobile dexterity came when I changed Harper's dirty diaper. While she was still in her car seat. Have a Merry Christmas!

While sounding a little insane(yet fun), you will probably think it is a piece of cake actually traveling with Len this time. You guys have a great trip. We will be home should you guys feel the need to stop by. :-) Have a great Christmas!
