Day one

We have managed to get through and even enjoy our first day of driving. After hours of packing we have paired down our worldly possessions to, two duffel bags, a swim bag, a snack bag, a toy bag, a jacket bag, camera bag, computer bag, toiletries bag, and a multipurpose "important" bag. So much for my idea of two bags and nothing else. I just hope we start shedding our bags soon cause I'm not sure we could even make it to a airport gate with three kids and all these dam bags. Once finally on the road we continued with my childhood song line up, where on the road again, were on our way but we don't know where were going and a new one to the list... Make new friends. I'm sure you are all thinking we are a sacrine leave it to bever family... Well you havn't sang with us. By the third or fourth round of make new friends Angelo decided Apollonia was singing to load and tryed nicley to get everyone to sing in a whisper. The loud lady decided to challnge our quite singing and before I knew it chaos was loose in the car. The compeating yells of the kids sining at top volume with Josh trying to calm things almost drove me to pull over. Thankfully everone was calmed down by our arrival at in and out. Yes, my friends we were only as far as daily city. We enjoyed our last SF meal (per Apollonia's request) speeding down 280, geasy fingured but quite. Now at the end of a long day the kids are saked out in the car, all a bit desheveled but awfully sweet looking. Angelo is on the drivers side in zip off pants, topless (as he has gone all day) and looking very "country". Durham is in the middle and despite using half a bag of wet wipes on him today he looks as though he rumbled in some vomit, bean burritto, strawberrys and fake chesse smeared all down his front. Apollonia is behind me looking very normal and maybe even angelic. 40 miles to Bakersfield and it sure has been a full one. Love to you all & goodnight.
