Road Trippin' Babies

We made it to Betsy's on Monday night with little problem. The drive took about 11 hours after all the stopping. But, the kids were great during the entire experience. They took their regular naps along the way, and they seemed to play pretty happily during their wake up time. So far, the kids have slept okay at night during this trip.

Hank and Clara got to see where I used to work. Lots of changing at the firm, as the offices are expanding. The babies met lots of my friends, as well. Tonight, Betsy is having a few people by, so the babies get to meet even more people.

There is something interesting about being back in DC but this time with the kids. It is almost like two parts of my life intersecting in a new way. I suspect that will be even more true when we head out to California in a few weeks. The timing of having the kids and moving to Buffalo makes it seem so much like Buffalo is where the kids are, whereas SF and DC are were the other parts of my life remain. It is just the adjustment of having a new family, I suppose.

We leave early tomorrow morning to head home. It will be another long day of driving. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the kids do well on the travels. They have their first swimming class on Saturday morning, so let's hope they get some good rest tomorrow.
