- 39 days on the road, divided between two legs of about three weeks each.
- more than 7700 miles driven, all with a teething baby in the backseat.
- drove through 19 states and 2 canadian provinces, seeing places as diverse as Chapel Hill, NC; Gatineau, QC; Brooklyn, NY; Ottumwa, IA; and Arco, ID.
- We slept in 16 different beds. Well, we brought the girls' bedding, so they actually slept in the same bed most every night, just in 16 different locations.
- We spent over $600 on gas during the second leg alone though actually managed to stay under budget.
We found that state capitol buildings and wal-marts were our ideal places to stop. The girls could get out, walk around, and look at interesting things. In one case we practically had the building to ourselves!
As you can see, there aren't many comfortable places in Wyoming to nurse a hungry baby. It's a miracle that our three-year old didn't have a single bathroom accident during the whole trip. There were some close calls, particularly out west where the bathrooms are few and far between, but we always made it.
One of Olivia's favorite part of the trip was playing with a whole new set of cousins and all their toys.
Anne was always smiling (at least almost always). It's hard to describe just how delightful this little girl is other than to say that she is a lot like her sister.
