My younger brother, AbdelRahman, had his wedding celebration in Memphis on June 26, so we took a little road trip down. The thought of traveling with two little ones for almost 600 miles nerve-wracking enough...but what made the idea a little crazier was that we had just started Hamilton's potty training on June 4. Yes, really. We obviously need some lessons in planning.
In any case, there were certainly some things that we were very thankful for on the traveling part of our adventure:
- The rental company didn't have our Impala in , so we got upgraded to a mini-van (with electrical outlets!).
- We were able to stop in Chatham both ways to help break the trip up (thanks, Grammy and Granddad).
- NO ACCIDENTS! Really, we've got to give it to Hamilton. He alerted us a couple of times and we had to find rest stops, but mostly, he just waited until we were stopping anyhow. We were prepped for anything, with plastic and towels galore, but they sat unused.
At one stop on the way back, Hamilton used the restroom with Freeman while I waited in the minivan with Veronica. While in, they stopped for some ice cream for the road. After Hamilton helped me to finish mine, he stated matter-of-factly, "Pee pee in the toilet." He had just gone, so I guessed that he had more on his mind. I explained to him that we would stop, but there would be no more ice cream. He then even more definitively declared, "No pee pee in the toilet."
Here are some pictur
es from the stop-overs in Chatham.
