The Trip Back

The trip back was crazy rainy–typical of our trips back. At least twice i remember where we had a perfect “to” trip and the “back home” trip was bad weather. I wonder if that’s a pattern. Either way, it’s much needed rain, and a good way to end the lovely weekend weather.

tn_jaylie_hairstuck0.jpgOur girl the goofball, got a toy twisted & stuck in her hair and had to ride with it for a few dozen miles before we could stop at a rest area and remove it. she happily played with this blue plastic dangling from her hair ’til we got to pull it out.

tn_crybaby.jpgOur boy, as he had the entire trip to, cried most of the trip back–he slept about 30 minutes. It’s pretty much a crap shoot with him weather or not he’ll cry or not on a trip. With about 20 minutes left in the trip i started playing with the automatic window in the back of the vehicle on his side, and it entertained him the entire rest of the way–i wish i would have thought about that hours ago…Perhaps we would have broken the rental’s window though.

Speaking of rentals, we got bilked by our local Enterprise rent-a-car. That was my first time renting with them, and assuredly the last, as they’re every bit as much salesfolk as a rental operation. Besides–who wants to roll around with a Big Green “E” sticker on their vehicles while they’re out?
