Thankful Thursday no. 2: Family

Today I am thankful for my family in general. My family has traveled back "home" this week to celebrate Christmas. Or something like that. Unfortunately it is more like bouncing around between different family members and just trying to spend a little time with everyone. But Mr. I couldn't get off work any closer to Christmas so we do what we can. Since moving this summer has put more distance our families we do not get to see them often. Therefor I am thankful for every opportunity I get to spend with them.

Traveling With Kids

The other day my family and I loaded up the truck and took off on a seven hour road trip to visit family. We stopped at a Subway along the way to (obviously) get a bite to eat and change Alien. I head to the ladies room and surprise: no changing table. There is next to no room to change him in the truck not to mention it is freezing outside so I had to change him on my lap while sitting on the toilet. Next we get our food and head to table. I go to grab a highchair but the label states not to use with children under 2 and really it was more of a booster seat than anything. So I have to eat my meal with him on my lap. Not that I don't love holding my squishy but I prefer not to spill food on his head. Not a very family friendly place. So that's my rant...

What do you just love about traveling with children?

Here we go

Hitting the road today - on our way back "home" to see family for an early Christmas.
