Finally catching up on vacation pics from our trip to the Outer Banks back in October... here are some highlights from the road trip. I joined AAA the day before we left and got a triptych for navigation - first time I'd ever used one and it was super helpful - I totally recommend it. (Side note: The AAA store has TONS of great FREE travel info for members - maps, brochures, etc. I came out of there with a big pile of stuff with future field trips in mind!) I really love road trips - in my opinion they are half the fun of going on vacation. I love being "stuck" together in the car and getting to enjoy each other's company, while watching interesting new sights pass by our windows.
On the trip, I decided to make it "my thing" to take a picture of every state welcome sign we passed. I got all except the elusive West Virginia. Somehow I missed it both on the way down and on the way back. My OCD was really itching. Grrr.

| The DS kept Monkey pretty happily occupied... |
 |
| While Bug found other ways to entertain himself. (Whoopie cushions are SO hilarious to a 2yr old!) |
 |
| This cool toy that I picked up on Amazon also helped keep him busy. |
 |
| I love driving through the mountains. |
 |
| Tunnels are exciting! |
 |
| A scenic group of windmills. We passed several of these clusters. |
 |
| The boys snuggled into their bed in the hotel room (where we stopped halfway overnight), watching cartoons on CABLE - what a treat! (We do not have cable at home, which makes us pretty much Amish, I know.) |
Next post: Our arrival at the beach!
