Amy, the kids and I have arrived at our first destination. After about 9 hours in the car, we made it from Carver, MA to Buffalo, NY. The kids handled the drive remarkably well, although I don't think they yet realize that they will be doing this everyday for the next week. Hopefully, as long as I keep them bribed with Dunkin Donuts (the cause of Alasdair's chocolate face) peace and harmony will reign in the minivan.
Our van has recently been equipped with a Garmin Nuvi, so we are adjusting to driving around while an English woman tells us where to go. It takes some getting used to. On a big trip like this, she talks a lot, so we asked Andy to give this woman a name. Don't know where it came from, but he came up with "Girlinza." Ok. We got a little annoyed with Girlinza as the day went on, and her name eventually morphed into "Girlzilla." I think that one might stick.
Tomorrow, we will visit Niagara Falls before getting underway for Chicago. The adventure continues....
