5.15.18 Roadtrip Day 15

8:30 AM Miles woke up and this woke me up. We hurried and the two of us made it to breakfast.  Miles then became difficult ad wanted to sit on my lap. It made it slow. I had trouble cutting my waffle. I had wanted to hurry and eat to still have time to get more food and take it upstairs but that wasn’t going to happen.  Then he made it hard to carry food for Ella and Dave upstairs. I made a breakfast sandwich for Dave that I thought he wouldn’t like but still there weren’t other choices. I carried the rest of Miles’s cereal upstairs so Ella could eat it. I also carried Miles’s apple upstairs. Then I was carrying 2 yogurts and a milk. I did all this while carrying Miles.
Breakfast ended at 9. They closed it at 9:10. We got upstairs at 9:25.

We got ready and were packing.

My legs are so achy. I don’t know why.

Miles played in the cupboard. Dave actually took video of it (but it's too much trouble to try to find the video now and insert it).  Miles also played with Dave’s shoes.

We left the hotel.

It started raining with less than 5 minutes until we arrived at lunch. We wished it held off starting to rain.

 We got to Carino’s at 12:07. My feet got soaked running in.

Ella liked the bread. She didn’t want food or drink but then when the waitress said what juice they had she picked OJ. (She didn’t really like it but said she did.)  Miles loved bread dipped in oil. Then when my soup showed up, he loved bread dipped in soup. He also liked just soup. He got pasta in alfredo and he liked that. He wasn’t a fan of the broccoli or chicken in it though. He loved my pasta and meat sauce.  It was so good. Dave got skilletini and firesticks.

I gave Miles Benadryl as we were leaving.

1:13: Left Carino’s

Miles fell asleep almost right away. Ella played with shopkins. It was storming.

There was bad visibility. 55 mph for a while but then down to 45 mph for a bit. I took a screenshot of the radar.

The car doesn’t even recognize a car in front of us because the rain is so bad.

2:13 We pulled off at exit and parked under an underpass. It was Rt 29 from Wynnewood.

2:23 got back to driving. It was pretty good driving (I mean not awful.)
2:36 then awful at driving.
2:37 got insane 29 mph
2:38 rain was going to the right
2:39 rain is now going to the left.
2:41 48 mph
2:55 hail. 3 mi to go

Wow hail
0 visibility

2:56 Stopped. Managed to get to the side of the road. We were unsure where the road or some of the road was for a little while there.

Tried to drive but back to the side of the road. A few other cars are going but we thought there wasn’t enough visibility so had pulled off.

2:59 start going again
Exit to super charger
3:04 Freddy’s for ice cream. Dave went in. It was pouring.
3:13 at super charger
I’m leaning over the seat reaching to the back to feed Miles. Ella did so well eating her entire ice cream cone.

3:44 driving again

4:13 entered TX

4:16 A car just drove off the road onto the grass maybe to pass a lane. It was the grass to the left of the left lane. It was so weird.


5:50 got to the hotel

6:40 Got to super charger. I went kid free. It was close but sure took 5 min to get there or more with the wrong turn in the parking lot and also all the traffic.

 Look at these cute kids sitting beside each other sharing. Look at the height difference while sitting. miles and Ella look the same height until you see that her legs are so much longer!

Back to hotel

People loved the car. Talked 10 minutes to 4 of them. They were organic vegetable farmers but got toxic mold so were there for treatment. They are in their 4th week at this hotel.

We head to Hard Eight BBQ. We arrive at 8:10.

It was loud, good, and crowded.  

We left at 9:09.
We got McD’s for Ella. She wanted “apple juice.”
9:46 hotel
10:03 My stomach is fighting back (2x).

11:20 Finally got Miles to the crib. It was not a good time. We went to the car for Benadryl.

Ella started in her closet to sleep but once it was no ipad time she didn’t want to sleep in there so then she slept in bed with me. (This was maybe the third time she did this.)

I was the last one awake.

Then I woke up at 1:40 with my laptop on my lap.
