toddler road trip begins

Marie and I learned some things from the trip there. It took us 2 extra hours in stops (frequent stops!), some of which were due to my poor planning and some of which were due to the fact that the kids never fell asleep.

We got to Como around 2:30 pm after leaving here at 8 am. On the way back, we left Como at 11 am and got home around 3 pm - i.e., about the same time as we had arrived there on Friday. Lesson: Leaving earlier doesn't necessarily get you there sooner. What gets you there sooner is sleeping children.
