We got out the door (almost) on time this morning. We picked up Grandma Barb and headed east. For anyone who didn't hear, Ainsley got to come with us! She will be flying back to Iowa with grandma Barb next week. This way Ben and Ainsley aren't separated as long and Mom and Ainsley aren't separated as long. We borrowed a DVD player so the kids were able to watch movies, they colored and ate tons of snacks. Ainsley didn't nap at all before we stopped for an early dinner. Which ended up in a total meltdown for both of them. As soon as we got back in the car they both promptly fell asleep. We made it to Kentucky just a few miles from the Tennesee border. We have about 3 and a half hours of travel time left for tomorrow so hoping to do a little sight seeing in Nashville and then get settled in when we get to Birmingham.
Make sure you have a big box of toys set between them the next time. That helps too! When I was driving with Kahlen back and forth between Danville, that and the computer with movies on it were a life saver.
