After pondering aloud as to how to make a five-hour road trip with little people easier, my friend Melissa shared the suggestion you see above. She instructed me to place tape across the ceiling of the car with various-shaped "markers" along the tape to indicate cities along our journey. We start on a star at one end and finish at the star at the opposite end. After each hour of travel, we reach a different shape. Giving the boys a visual of where we are helps them to better understand "how much longer." They don't understand "two hours" to Grammy and BooBoo's house, but they do understand "one more movie." This will be a new part of our extensive road travel from now on!
We enjoyed some quality visit time with our loved ones. You can't imagine how much wrestling, Star Wars reenactments, train observation, music band tryouts, rocking horse rides, and military simulation five cousins can fit into one weekend. What a fun time was had by all!
