I'm debating the details to share . . . I'm not sure if more details will make more sense or be more surprising . . . We took a family road trip to Sioux Falls, SD in this sleeper cab pulling 44,000 pounds . . . and then returned 30 hours later. Crazy, right? We look relatively happy and clean and decently rested, right? Because the previous picture was taken at the end of our journey!!
We left Michigan at 2 pm on Tuesday. The above picture is at about 7:30 Thursday morning while we wait for Stephan to get the paper work taken care of and trailer hooked up. Briella and Gideon enjoyed watching out the window as we drove across MN, IA, and IL. We got to see lots of wind turbines and tractor parts being hauled, we even saw a couple of airplanes, one landing while we passed the airport.
We laid on the bed in the back reading books or just playing for most of the trip. Briella and Gideon took turns sitting up front, too.
It was fun to stay with my sister and we got to see my parents and other siblings, too. It was an adventure for sure!! I'm not sure if we will be able to do it again . . . but it was worth it this time and I'm glad we took the opportunity to go!

I ran into your brother at a cadet thing and he said you had just been out to visit riding along with Stephen! Glad you had the opportunity to do this! Memories in the making for sure. We've done our share of crazy trips too.
It was a lot of fun for the kids and they keep talking about it and want to do that again! I'm not as excited about another trip . . . but it was worth it. Sometimes being out of my comfort zone and just doing it for fun, not because it makes sense is good for me :)
I'm sure some of your European travels were way more adventurous than I could handle!!
