Last Hurrah

"Start spreading the news....."

One final weekend at Mom's on the Island. Family road trip. Demi's mom is finally selling the house and moving full time to FL. It was only a matter of time. I know this will be hard on Demi. There are a lot of great memories in that house. The boys will miss it too. Even though we have been spending more time staying with Demi's sister while on Island, the boys have spent a lot of time there at Mom's over the years. It has been the site of many Christmas festivities and family events.
The boys are really traveling well these days. No movies. No constant stopping. I think we stop more for Demi and Gizmo. The wee wee jug gets used here and there but for the most part, the kids are champs at holding it. We use the third row seating so each kid has his own space. They fall asleep halfway into the trip. And better yet, they wake up enough when we get there to walk into the house and crawl into bed. We listen to the Sox on the radio. They play Nintendo DS for a bit. Demi and I still limit their electronics. It's not all video games and movies the whole way. We haven't even packed the DVD player on a few recent trips. Caz does have an IPod nano that has video capabilities. He has a season's worth of Mythbusters on their to keep him busy. The kids have always been decent travelers but they are really pros now.
