Safe arrival

We arrived in Hobe Sound, Florida tonight at 6:35 safe and sound. Very tired, hot and sick of riding in the van! LOL!
Here are some trip highlights:

~We left our house around 3:15 Thursday. We got ready to leave and I could not find my keys and had several anxious moments digging for them! I un-buried them from my packed diaper back-pack and we were off...

~Two hours into our trip and we were forced to take a detour in a small town that completely turned us around! We lost about an hour trying to figure out how to get back on track!

~Ben accidentally dropped his Transformers coloring book out the window into the middle of the street! Guess who retrieved it?! I was able to get it before it got ran over!

~We drove until 5am this morning before stopping to rest. Completely exhausted, we slept for a few hours and then got back on the loong road....

~Sad discovery: When we stopped to rest, Becca and Ben had changed places and somehow or another the van seat was flung a little too hard and smashed into the dvd player strapped on the back of my seat! You guessed it....when we went to put in a dvd later on, we discovered that the screen was cracked and totally un-usable! After many tears, we moved on and survived without movies the rest of the trip! LOL!

~ We crossed Florida state line at noon!
We are staying at the Collins families very nice and cozy house! More updates later......
Keep us in your prayers!
