Friendscation here we come! This morning we work up in decent time to head toward Des Moines to meet with Dustin, Sarah, Dylan, and Maddy. Dylan, Maddy, and Ty came into town last night. We were able to see them for an hour or so before heading back to Osceola last night. After Thom packed this morning we loaded the van and we were on our way.
The original plan was to meet up at Dustin and Sarah’s house and caravan together, but both Teddy fell asleep on our way to Des Moines so we pushed forward. We eventually caught up with the other vehicles on the interstate. To keep in the flow of driving we decided to eat lunch on the road and we had deli meat, cheese sticks and crackers. I think Teddy enjoyed eating lunch in the van. He thought it was silly.
Our original plan was to stop at Sidney for the night, but we arrived in Sidney at about 3:15 and decided that the boys were doing a great job in cars and that we would push forward to Cheyenne. Both boys fell asleep on the way to Cheyenne so we pushed to Laramie.
In Laramie we met up with Jeff, Amanda, and Shirley at the Hampton Inn. We decided that was a great spot for us to lay our heads for the night and we decreased our drive for tomorrow from 4.5 hours to 2 hours!
Because we had been in the van all day we didn’t think that going out to eat would be a good idea so we decided to order in pizza. We asked the front desk and they suggested Mr. Jim Pizza. It was very good!
Our evening was spent chatting and catching up. Teddy enjoyed playing with Ty and Shirley. He and Ty loved playing on the pillows and Teddy and Shirley discovered a shared love of sticking things in the microwave and opening and closing it.
Teddy did a FANTASTIC job in the van. I love having the van to travel in. We put down one captain chair and so we have an open space for the cooler and it makes it very easy for me to climb back and sit near him.
