Road Trip!

We’re headed for the New Hampshire/Maine border tomorrow, to spend the week with The Husband, who is up there right now fixing some submarine or other. The boys are very excited, mostly because Daddy said there’s a pool in his hotel, but they do like to travel (they’ve been trying to talk me into going back to San Diego pretty much every week since last summer), so it’ll be fun. Road trip time!

I’ve been trying to get the house in order before we leave, because I hate coming home to a dirty house after a trip. So I’ve been running around all day, doing errands and trying to get everything ready. Sent a note to the school, notified the bus driver, put a hold on the mail, cleaned the car out, had a business meeting with my lovely dance partner Nadira, did laundry, did more laundry, packed a few things, etc. Need to get the cat ready (clean litter, fresh food and water) and pack some more. And do one more load of laundry.

Ah, travel!

Road trip!

We’re off to DC in about three hours or so here. Mapquest thinks it’ll take about 3.75 hours to get to the hotel. We shall see. I have two small boys and I can’t find the DVD player for the car, so there may be more stops than I’d like. Maybe they’ll fall asleep for a while. Probably not if I hope for it. They only fall asleep when I don’t want them to.

So this morning, I need to wash the dishes, pack the car, look some more for the DVD player, find a sweatshirt for my mom, change the kitty litter and make sure his food and water feeders are full, and make some sandwiches for lunch on the road. And if I have time I want to finish sewing this dress I started, so I can wear it while we’re in DC. Sigh. Better get my butt up off the computer then.
