So the drive yesterday to Mississippi went pretty well. We made it here in about eleven hours. But being cooped up in the car with a four and six year old was a little tiring. We got something to eat and check in at the hotel by eight o'clock last evening. And then we finally got to see Daddy! Which was the million and one question that I got asked on the trip. How long until we get to see Daddy?
So after the initial enthusiasm as being back together as a family calmed down some I asked my hunny what the plan was for the morning. He had to be back at base by six in the morning. I knew he had to go back until about noon today so not really a big deal. I had planned on taking the kids to the park, movies, or doing some shopping. HOWEVER, when he explained that I would have to drive him to the base at five in the morning (and get the kids up) or let him take the car and be stuck at the hotel my mood wasn't so jolly! You mean after being stuck in the car with a four and six year old all day to come see you. Now I get the option of waking them up super early and taking you to base or being stuck in the hotel?! Just perfect.
So being the flexible person I am (after some deep breaths and pouting), I came up with a backup plan and decided that the boys and I could go swimming at the hotel after breakfast. One problem, the hotel has no pool. Great! Hubby was sure to let me know there is a strip mall behind the hotel and a Waffle House across the street from the hotel (which is a four lane street on both ways!), no way am I crossing that street with my kids!
So on to plan three, let the boys sleep until they were done, which was seven thirty (pretty typical for them). Hubby took the car, so I'm carless for the morning. I had him bring in the leapsters ( one which is working, the other one needs a leapster Doctor, and their iPhones - they have games on them that they play). We are eating breakfast at the hotel that has continental and then exploring the outdoors to walk around the local area and see what we can find to entertain us. If this takes all of two minutes, I have my kindle to read and endless amounts of time that I can spend on the computer but my boys will get pretty restless in a hotel room for several hours just waiting for Daddy (even with their electronics and the TV). So on to our adventure of the day!
And on a side note, I specifically asked my hubby to bring in my phone charger so I would be able to have it fully charged. While he remembered to bring everything else he happened to forget that so I'm pretty much phoneless and unable to communicate with him. I guess he can find us since we should only be about a block from the hotel at all times!
