On The Road Again

Greetings from Texas! A line of storms passed through "the Mother Country" (as my husband calls it...not this Yankee) yesterday causing torrential downpours that caused tornadoes and flooding in Texas. We drove in those storms. We drove in those storms for hours! What makes a long day of traveling with 3 kids and 2 dogs in a car...storms. Bad storms. That we drove in for hours. Need I say more?!

But we made it and we're on road trip hiatus for 4 days while we visit with Brad's family. The girls are enjoying manipulating Grandma to get their every wish come true. The dogs love the big back yard and are waiting for a few minutes alone to dig a hole. I'm enjoying the fact that Brooke's pack-n-play is in another room so I don't hear her every little move and as a result I finally got 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep last night!

This morning I had the chance to bike and run. The winds were still strong today and there was a lot of debris on the road from the storms...but I managed to get a short ride in followed by a run. Something is better then nothing at this point...the real training will begin in a few weeks when we finally get settled. The girls are officially sunburned after spending several hours playing outside. They literally fell into bed. Maybe we can wear them out enough here that we'll sail through the final 28 hours of our trip.
