On July 9th we left Houma for our trip to Illinois. One thing I've learned with a car full of kids is that you will have to make frequent stops, which is okay with me-- I feel like I need a little break every hour and a half anyway, and besides, I remember when I was a kid being given an empty Folgers can in lieu of a restroom stop, and that didn't set too well with me.
We have started a little tradition by having a picnic on the first day at a rest stop in Mississippi. (pics) The kids seem to focus on playing more than eating, and Bernadette always seems to find some bugs she wants to add to her collection, which, of course we can't allow, but she understands.
