December 17 = Go to NC Day

Matt's birthday is Saturday and while we were talking on the phone last night he offered to come pick us up.  He drove five hours up, came inside, refilled his water bottle, helped finish packing up the car and we headed back.  I would have never predicted this but Liam actually slept a little and Malia didn't.

At one point, Malia started screaming.  We changed her, fed her, gave her something to drink, gave her toys, tried everything, but there was nothing we could do to make her stop.  Matt, not used to this level of noise, got a headache so I started driving and he used some noise canceling headphones.  While they were not quite a match for Malia's pipes, they did help but I missed a turn at some point. Zachary said there's a spot coming down where the GPS signal is really weak and it's confusing so he thinks he knows exactly where I went wrong but it ended up taking over seven hours and Malia screamed for the last four.  Matt definitely got more than he bargained for!
