Roadtrip to Iowa

It was so sad leaving Goldsboro.

Going to miss our house, friends. everything.

But, I am ready for a new chapter.

New adventures.

I am excited.

Let the adventure begins!

We left Goldsboro around 6 am.

We are going to a 19 hour roadtrip.

2 days, 19 hours drive to Iowa.

There's no way we can do 19 hours drive straight especially

with the kids so we had to do it for 2 days. 

The first 4 hours of the trip was quiet.

started to get uncomfortable but it was okay.

My face seeing the sunrise.

The traffic was bad it took us a while to leave North Carolina.

My favorite view every time we go to Iowa.

The mountains in West Virginia.

We got to OHIO after lunch.

We only had to stop 3 times on our first day of travelling.

I think that is good, especially with having kids with us.

Feel so bad though because the kids were getting so tired from sitting down.

Well, I was too!

I recommend having a lot of entertainment for the kids.

Books, Activity books, Learning toys.

..And lots of snacks!

ohh. make sure they are not drinking a lot the whole time. 

 After 12 hours of driving we decided to stop and find somewhere to stay.

We ended up finding place to stay in Indiana.

I wanted to sleep in the most comfortable bed ever.

I'm glad we decided to stay in Holiday Inn.

We got the 2 bed room.

It was really clean. 

My boys did so good on our 1st day. 

I'm so proud.

All I did all day was snacking. 

I decided to just have some salad since I'm craving for some greens.

This chicken salad were so good.

We decided to sleep in a little bit the next day.

I slept so good!

But, first...

Coffee!

Before leaving we decided to walk around the hotel.

They have indoor pool and gym.

I wish we could stay longer.

But, we have to keep going.

We only had 6 hours of driving left. 

It was actually so much better than yesterday.

Still so sore from sitting down all day.

But. I feel better.

Still just snacking on our drive to Iowa.

I didn't want to eat something big.

Water and some snacks and I'll be okay.

Found these interesting snack at the Asian store the other day.

It was really interesting.

I like it!

Made it to Iowa around 2 pm.

Finally!

Now, time to just relax.

I cannot wait to do some stretching tomorrow.
