We drove down to Spokane to meet up with John's mom this weekend. John mapquested it and said "it's only 5 hours to Spokane, it won't be so bad!" 1. Mapquest actually says 5 hours 51 minutes, you don't understand rounding 2. We are traveling with children and every rest stop is going to be a production 3. It is the middle of winter and the roads are going to be terrible which will slow us down.
But his mom had never even met Eloise and really wanted to see John and the kids, so I gave in and we made the trek. And everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, even if we did end up having to stay an extra night because I couldn't bear to be back in the car on Sunday after driving all day Saturday.
John's mom had the worse end of the trip though, it's 10 hours from her house to Spokane and she was traveling with dogs. Everyone had a good time, but I was bad and forgot to get out my camera until John's mom was leaving so I got very posed pictures.
It's like when Dad's family gets together and they all stand in a line and you take their picture, but with more kids hoverhanding dogs and less line. Also I hadn't fixed anyone's hair yet so Eloise has the sheepdog look going on.
The greyhound apparently said something funny and distracted everyone so that the little dog could lick Eloise right in the face. He has trouble holding his licker.
