Last Saturday morning at 1 AM we packed up both kids and Sophie and hopped in the car, destination Pittsburgh, PA. David wanted to leave in the middle of the night figuring that both kids would sleep at least the first half of the trip. Once again, the joke was on him. Christopher pretty much slept the whole time (despite coming down with the croup Friday night). Madeleine slept for a whole half hour. Yep, 12 hour ride, 684 miles, left by 2 AM and she slept for 30 minutes.
I figured with the grandparents keeping the kids occupied I'd have more time to blog, but we have been pretty busy. Sunday we went to go see a Rockettes Christmas show. Madeleine really enjoyed herself and was really well behaved, even though she had no nap.
Monday we hit the Children's Museum. At 3, she was just on the cusp of being too old to be with the younger kids in what they called The Nursery. She was also slightly young to be with the older kids in the rest of the museum. She had a good time but I think she was a bit intimidated by some of the older kids, although she did tell one he needed to take turns.
She is having a blast here and we'll have a lot of deprogramming to do when we get home. I have a few pictures to post but the camera batteries are recharging at the moment. Going to do a little bit of shopping tomorrow, but wondering how we are going to get everything home. Downside of the van - the extremely small trunk.
