What do you get when you combine...

1 seven passenger conversion van, packed full of people and stuff

5 kids tired of their car seats

1 Dad operating on auto-drive

1 Mom being the official snack passer-outer, drink filler, video rewinder and general go-fer

362 miles of Interstate 40 (normal travel time: 5 hours 40 minutes. our travel time: 9 hours 30 minutes)

1 three year old boy with a raging stomach virus

11 bathroom stops

1 of the nastiest bathrooms in the United States, I promise

and 3 beds at the Comfort Inn?

Hopefully, 1 good night's sleep and home sweet home the next day.

Guess we will see...
