Get 'em and Go

Our daily routine on Sutton School days has me dropping the boys off at 7:30 am every morning and picking them up every afternoon at 3:00 pm, but today was a little different. On this sunny afternoon Sandy was with me in our new minivan, fully loaded and ready to head south for spring break. It is a long haul to the grandparent’s house in Florida, and we elected to break the driving trip into two days with a stopover in Calhoun, Georgia. We called ahead and made a hotel reservation, which turned out to be prudent as the highways were crowded with vacation travelers. The drive was difficult through heavy rain, and it sure was nice to have a new vehicle with excellent windshield wipers.  We didn’t arrive until 11:00 pm our time, which was midnight local time.  Thank goodness for modern conveniences.
