We had a slightly unscheduled trip to see my wife's family in Montana. Since it was a late notice flights were expensive and she didn't get more than Monday off, so we left at 4:00pm Friday from the day care with our 9 month old son. We drove through the night, with our boy sleeping from 8pm to 6am, and were in Montana as the sun starting coming up Saturday morning.
Dropped him off at the house my In-Laws were already at and we went to a friends house to sleep a couple hours. Visited the rest of the day and had some Seabeck pizza for dinner. Visited some more Sunday morning before headed south to see some more of her family. Had more Seabeck pizza (the only two Seabeck Pizzas not in Washington!) Made it to the family ranch at sunset and tried not to hit the antelope or mule deer in their front yard. Had a couple beers, then to sleep.
Left Monday at 6:20 am Mountain time and made it to Appleton by 10:30pm the same day. Our son was surprisingly easy going about riding, awake this time, in a car seat for 15+ hours with only diaper changes and a quick play in the grass at a rest stop out of the seat. Overall had fun, but next time there will definitely more time to take in the scenery! So only 2100 miles or so all said and done.
on the other hand i got to see a VERY nice one of these for sale:
I think that I need to take it for a good long test drive to sort out my feelings about it.
