Going to bed was pretty entertaining last night, even with Finn’s fever. The advil helped a lot, and he was in rare form as we went to bed, asking to switch pillows, sides of the bed, etc. At 1:30am he woke up thirsty and hot, and got some more advil and water. This morning he seems fine, having spent the night either adherent to my body or with his feet in my face.
5:00am Matt wakes up, confused about the time, showers and get dressed. The boys and I do not.
6:45am The boys and I are up, Finn seems healthy, and the bed is damp. Fun!
7:30am Breakfast takes forever, as Liam wants to try everything. So many choices! What a wonderful place the Hampton Inn is!
8:30am On the road again, leappads on hand. So far, we have managed to not show movies, but to listen to music, talk and play. We’ll see how long this lasts.
Well, I drove for the rest of the day, so no more play-by-plays, but we had a pretty good day! We stopped for lunch in a nice town outside of Baton Rouge, and Liam was intrigued by the swamps we crossed. Both boys also appreciated the words “Achafalaya” and “Opelousas”. They took really good naps, and we were all excited to cross into Texas.
The excitement waned a bit when Houston and the cousins didn’t materialize immediately, and at 4:00pm, we broke down and broke out the Backyardigans. Peace and quiet!
After checking into the hotel, we went over to “Jamie and Connor’s house” where they boys acted as though they were BFFs who had seen each other yesterday. They played so nicely together, which gave us a chance to visit with our friends Paul and Claire Brady, and to catch up with Mom, Sarah, and Leo. The Mediterranean food was fantastic, and Liam asked if he could have a sleepover.
Since Finn was still not well, we took him back to the hotel, and Liam got to have his first sleepover ever. I hope he behaves well! Last we saw him, he was happily reading books.
