Monday we loaded up the ol' Chevy Venture and headed out at 9:30 am. We planned on driving about 8 hours or so and staying the night about an hour and 30 minutes "drive time" from Cori's apartment. It took 11 hours, 2 stops at Target (one for baby food and one for the formula I left sitting on the counter at home), 1 stop for lunch, and who knows how many bathroom breaks to get to our hotel. When we finally got there the computers where down and the person working at the front desk that day didn't write who was in what room so the first two rooms we got where occupied. By the time we got in our room and headed over to Cracker Barrel for dinner it was 9:30 pm.
After a good nights sleep we headed to Cori's apartment. When we got there we ate lunch and took the Metro to D.C. to go to the Air and Space museum and the American Indian museum. When we got back we played on Cori & Paul's new Wii and had lots of fun making Miis for everyone, including Gabriel.
On Wednesday morning we took Cori with us to Williamsburg, VA and stayed at a resort for 2 nights. Mia LOVES everything that has to do with the "olden days" so this was the perfect place to take her. We walked around Historical Williamsburg and also visited Jamestown where we got to see how the Indians lived and we got to do some of the everyday chores they did.
By Friday I was ready to get home, so at 7:00 we started by taking Cori home. At 11:15 we stared the long journey home. My mom was a little worried about driving all the way home but I told her that we didn't have to stop at Target 2 times and this time lunch would be a drive-through. We made it home in 9 1/2 hours!!!
