Friday was travel day. Both kids did great. We switched them up in the afternoon & Jess took two naps in the van. We left Columbia, Mo a little after 8am cst & drove to Lexington, Va to stay the night about 12:30am est. On the way we drove though St Louis, Mo seeing the arch, Busch Stadium, & Union Station where Jim & I stayed six years ago with Edward Jones. JP liked it when we drove other the bridges. We've gone through a few rain showers & only have had to slow down one time for road work.
Day 3 hasn't started so well. We went to leave for breakfast & the van wouldn't start & Julie's check engine light came on. After doing a check at Advance Auto parts, it was just a loose gas cap. However we had to replace the battery in the van & then found out it wasn't the battery but the alternator. We're now back on the road & about 3 hours away.
JP is very excited to get to the beach. Every stop yesterday he asked if we were at the beach yet. When they were working on the van, JP said to me with the most disappointing look on his face, "we're never going to get to the beach.". It broke my heart! I assured him we were still going to the beach. We ate at Waffle House for breakfast & JP was disappointed they didn't have "pampakes" (pancakes). He still ate most of his waffle though.
One other neat thing we had just started driving again & passed a Village Tours bus from Wichita, Ks! We couldn't believe it! Hoping the rest of today is less eventful then this morning.
