We started our drive to Florida today. We left from Seattle this morning and made it
to Draper Utah. We drove through
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Utah.
It was about a 12
hour drive and normally that would be hell with Ellie in the backs seat, but
she got a DVD player for the car for her birthday from my mom’s best friend
Tami (whom I am named after).
It has
literally saved our sanity.
She has
happily watched Curious George, and in between played with her toys and
napped.
It has filled in all the time
that she would normally be throwing a fit.
I cannot stress how much better this drive is because of it.

While we were in Washington we had a birthday party for
Ellie since it is at the end of the month.
It was Curious George theme since that is her all time favorite thing in
the world.
She had a great time.
We had dinner, cake presents, and a
piñata.
The kids loved breaking open the
piñata (specifically my nephew Max who broke it open).
She was a given a lot of Curious George
stuff, a doll, blanket, both movies, season 6 of the series, and a poster.
It was a great time and I’m glad we could
celebrate with my family.
The rest is just some pictures of the different things we
saw and did on our drive today.

ReplyDeleteDvd players on long trips are the best! We just went on a long trip and even rented some red box movies along the way so they'd have some new movies to watch. That is the cutest curious george party! Noah used to LOVE curious george, too.
