Day 1 - no small feat

Initially when planning for our Spring Break, I began thinking, what will I do with Emma for the week?  Once things begin to change in my life (without my permission I must add), I made an executive decision to make a huge change in our lives and see where it takes us.  This one decision took me planning for Emma each day to something so simple as stick with me girl, we're headed South  for a while.
4 am Saturday found us venturing into the cold dark morning filled with anticipation that only the two of us know.
 6:07 am found me watching the sunrise as I drove through Jersey with Emma asleep in the back seat.
  10 am and we stopped for a leg stretch and some snacks.
    4 pm found us a bit delirious, me with a numb butt and an aching back, Emma uncomfortable and lacking any good conversation.  So we stopped.  We gave into our needs and ate a Huddle House, only 3 hours from our final destination.
    7:40 pm greeted us with screams of delight, kids running without shoes on and me halfway parking on the grass just to get out and receive tons of hugs and squeals.

Unloading the car, decorating Eggs, learning how to cheat at bananas, back massages and laughter wrapped up our first day of our grand adventure together, just the two of us plus a few more.
