Friday I had two internal meetings at work which was a completely gift from God, because that allowed me to get everything done and still get home by 4:45. Lily was still tired, but she rallied and did TONS of packing and cleaning to get us ready for San Diego. I couldn’t believe all she accomplished with four kids on her hands. When I got home we took a couple hours to water the garden, finish packing and tydying and load the kids. We were out by 7.
I was going nuts with joy in the car. I told Lily that family road trips are what is all for. Why I work, we we have kids. I just am overcome with joy when I get to be strapped in a car with my five favorite people in the world.
Lily drove the first leg to Vegas and I drove the second leg. We pulled in at midnight pacific time. Our car said it was 104 degrees at midnight and the lady at the desk confirmed it was 100 or hotter. At midnight! Our room was nice and very cool though. The Homewood suites has been an incredible discovery for accommodating a family of six in one room.
