This weekend we made the drive to Omaha (8 hours + 2 kids = cranky parents) to see Ron's family. We had a fun time with the parents, with some "minor" snags...more on that later. Mostly we just hung around recouping from the drive :) and, as is often when visiting family, eating too much food. Next time we go I would really like to make to the Omaha zoo which is supposed to be top rate. As it would have it, we will be going back soon, circling back to our minor snag, our car totally blew up. Inoperable had to be towed away disaster. In order for us to get back home we were fortunate enough to be offered the use of Ron's Dad's ginormous conversion van (which by the way gets 15 mpg). But as anyone who has been lucky/stupid enough to travel with children is aware taking the train back was not a viable option, unless we hired a Sherpa. Anyway, had a good time, glad to be home. Here are some pictures of the kids totally not fazed by their parent stress level.
