Day Three

Okay so I was so exhausted this morning. I rolled out of the lower bunk bed and with a drunken stammer, made my way across the KOA compound to the women's restroom (hoping no one could see me). I was really not prepared for what I saw in the mirror. I looked like a Brazilian prison mug shot. Oh man did I need some sleep. With 2 very cranky children, we were off at the crack of 8:00 this morning. McDonald's coffee in one hand and the steering wheel in the other, we shot out of Dayton, OH with Wagontown, PA in our sights. We drove and drove and drove till we were cross-eyed. Thank heavens for iPods. Terri and took turns sharing our music. It was fun taking a stroll down memory lane via the music we grew up with. Oh and by the way, can I say something about tolls and turnpikes? What a rip off. Oklahoma charged me 8 dollars to ride on rundown bumpy roads. Geez. The PA turnpike was very nice, it was the Cadillac of toll roads, but I think that $19.20 was a little steep. For that kind of money I expect a drink, dinner and a show before asking me bend over and...well you know. It was so great to get to my in-laws. They looked fabulous. There will be a lot of family here this week. I know it is odd that I came without my husband to see his family, but they are so great and always make me feel like I am one of them. (Yes even you Tom R. ;) Funny things said today: Terri to Molly: Where does milk come from? Molly to Terri: They squeeze it out of the cow's gutters. Cindy to all in the car: We are staying in a 1790's farmhouse while we are here. Molly to Cindy: Mom, what's a "firm house?" Terri to Cindy: I think I have bedsores on my butt. As we were driving down a winding road between 2 corn fields, Terri told me to stop talking because there were so many "ears" listening...and then she proceeded to tell me that she was sorry for telling such a "corny" joke. I must have been tired, because I laughed at that. No real funny signs today. We have now seen 40 different state license plates. So we are showered and in a cool room laying in a comfortable bed and my children are happily in the care of their Oma and Opa (sleeping on their bedroom floor.) We are so excited to sleep in. I fully expected to sleep so long that they will have to dust me when I wake up. Good night dear friends and family. Till tomorrow. Over and Out, The Wagon Queens.
