Day1 of our cross country adventure we made it swiftly and safely out of Mississippi (whoooo hooooo!), quickly across the corner of Tennessee, and into the fine town of Little Rock, Arkansas. Finn was such a trooper--never complaining or even crying! We booked a Holiday Inn with an indoor pool (pricey b/c its a luxury in the south--Arkansas is still considered the south) so that Finn could splash around in the pool. Of course he was too exhausted (and sick as well) to enjoy it so we let him run back and forth down the hallway til he was tuckered out. Since he was sleeping in the room with us, we had to turn the lights down and snuggle him in his pack-n-play then sit in the hallway for about 30 minutes until he was fast asleep. Then we sneaked back in for some much needed shut-eye ourselves. 6 hours of driving down--7 on deck for day 2.
Day2 of our cross country adventure we made it quickly out of Arkansas and into Oklahoma which I describe as vast expanses of absolutely NOTHING.....except for maybe some cows, horses, tumbleweed.......I would rather live in Meridian :) Finn was not as happy this time. He figured out that each time we put him in his car seat that he was going to be there for a while---a concept he was definitely not happy about. Every time we pulled into a rest area or a spot to eat, he started babbling and clapping his hands lol. If only I could understand what he was saying. We made Wichita, KS our final stop for the night--a surprisingly eclectic town with quite a few options of ethnic food which made me really happy! We decided on a Medditeranean restaurant for supper--(Finn even ate hummus!)
Tomorrow we are planning to make it to Denver, CO if everything goes smoothly. More updates to come.
