ON THE ROAD AGAIN

After Chapel Hill, we hit Interstate 95 and made our way to Danielle's house in Silver Spring, Maryland. We were hoping to strike out early so that we could by pass the infamous DC traffic. We stopped at a rest stop right on the Virginia border and after that headed straight up to Maryland.

Everyone was getting pretty tired with the drive, but this leg was a little shorter. Everything was fine until we hit bumper to bumper traffic. It literally took us 45 minutes to go 3 miles. It was the absolute worst. To top it off, Kielle is not a fan of the car seat anyway so she was hollering like a banshee. I had to keep my left middle finger in her mouth so she could calm down - poor thing. It was stressful but we were looking forward to getting to Maryland. I was especially excited because Khyri's Godmother Ukindra was gonna come out and visit us.




When we pulled to the house, we once again, unloaded and set up in the basement down stairs. Danielle's sister Daria has two girls Amaya and Alisa. Poor Khyri was outnumbered. ahahhahaha good thing Daria's husband Greg was there to throw a little more testosterone into the mix hahahah.

The little ones got a lot of attention in Maryland. Danielle's nieces LOVED the babies! hahaah I think Amaya wanted to keep Kielle. While the kids ran around in the living room, the babies got some much needed personal attention.

We only spent one night in Maryland and then we were back on the road the next afternoon around 2pm. Khyri and Cadence both seemed to know that this was the last leg and soon we would have a 'home base' in New Jersey. So with excitement we road on...

In four short hours, we were pulling off the New Jersey Turnpike and pulling into Danielle's driveway. We made it! We made it! We made it! Cadence jumped right into her routine and she and Khyri played hard core! The toy of the day was the Dora tunnel. ahahah

Even Kielle looked relieved that there would be no more driving for awhile. We had a nice setup at Dani's a crib, changing table, even soft night time music. It felt just like home. Kielle and Khyri fell right into place. We had a fun filled week ahead of us, but at least we had one place to come back to every night.
