Road Trip

Finley, Clifton and I headed up to Fort Worth/Dallas this weekend to watch the Baltimore Orioles play the Texas Rangers.  Finley has been on a few Texas road trips so far, to both San Antonio (Visit One and Visit Two) and Plano.

We stopped in Madisonville on the way up north and on the way back home.  We all needed a snack to make the road trip pass.  Madisonville is a good stopping point for the drive and a good place to switch drivers, if you are lucky enough to have company on the trip.

On the way to Fort Worth we stopped for Dairy Queen where Finley and her daddy shared a Blizzard.

On the way home we stopped at McDonald's for sundaes and a McFlurry, which is very similar to a Blizzard.  Finley has been to this McD's before on our trip home from Plano.  I spilled a Coke all over the floor last time we were there, hope they don't remember me.  While we were there, they ran out of ice cream.  Thank goodness we made it in time!

Finley did great on both trips.  She took a good nap each way and was reasonably content being in her carseat for such a long time.  On the way to Fort Worth, we hit a rainstorm, which really slowed things down.  This was complicated by the fact that everyone in the car was hungry for dinner!

Finley and I are hitting the road again tomorrow morning to visit Auntie Hodder in San Antonio.  I am sure she cannot wait...
