The trip...

Last weekend, we took a long trip to Michigan. My cousin was getting married and there were lots of festivities to be had. We had some new technological toys for our trip. Cory found free trinkets once again. He ordered himself a GPS and a portable DVD player for me. It sure made things a little less dull. The only kink...yep, there was a kink...the girls' headphone cables weren't long enough. They were constantly having to readjust their headphones. Calla had a little extra annoyance from a little sister's wandering foot that mysteriously found its way toward her headphone cable, continuously! Our 6 hour trip once again took us 9 hours. It is inevitable for us. The trip home was a breeze. We were right on schedule. Chicago traffic was uncharacteristically light. And Uncle Jim kindly bestowed NEW DVDs for the girls to watch. We even stopped at an outlet mall before heading through Milwaukee. We did arrive home in the reoccuring 9 hour marker, though. We had to stop for dinner...
