Once again, a weekend spent travelling a huge amount for a very short stay.
Our trek began last Friday morning. It was a sombre day, making it perfect for driving as I didn't need to worry about having the sun in my face at one point or another. The drive is usually quite long, being near a thousand kilometres. As before, we were ready for anything between nine and eleven hours on the road. This time, however, was going to be different! We were driving for three and mommy made sure that we were aware of that. Yes, with baby on the way, we did need to stop much more frequent to ensure bladders did not explode. I had been expecting this and wasn't in any extra rush to get home from the lost time stopping for the bathroom. In all, the trip up would have been probably near the ten hour mark if it hadn't been for construction. We lost about two hours just sitting in traffic.
The trip up: Thirteen hours.
We had a wonderful weekend, filled with the meeting of tons of friends and family. I won't go into too much detail of the events of the weekend, as that will be explained all on its own. It ended as quickly as it began, and Monday morning we began our trek home.
The trip down: Eleven hours.
Coming back seemed to take much less time. Though it started out as if it were going to take a lot longer. I seemed to have drank too much in the morning and needed to stop three times in the span of a couple of hours! But that quickly ended and we made our way back to the states. We did not stop for dinner, as we had on the way up, which I suppose took off a bit of time.
All that travelling and such a short span of time in between. Still completely worth it. Got to see some friends, family, and enjoy some genuine quiet time. I've never really hated travelling, be it flying, or driving. If the destination is worth it, I will be there!
-Another great day
