The 2009 Trip to California

Our annual trip to Ca began on 7/26. We normally leave about 6am so we can get a jump start on the day and make it all the way to New Mexico. This year, I suggested to the kids they could stay up all night and make us breakfast in the morning at 5:30am, then sleep in the car all day. They thought that was the coolest! I was sure they'd conk out sometime in the night, but when my alarm went off at 5:30am, I smelled cooking... the kids had made breakfast tacos. It was a fun start to the trip. They insisted they weren't tired, but within an hour of driving, they were out cold.
