The first day of travel didn't really go very well. See, I have real bad sinuses that require surgery to fix (which I simply refuse to do). Therefore, I suffer horrible sinuses and migraines. I have learned to live with this and pretty much accept it...that is, until Monday. We left an hour later than scheduled in the morning but that was okay. What was not okay is that my sinuses were misbehaving. Now, I don't travel much, so I don't have any experience traveling with aggravated sinuses. The results? Disastrous. We had to stop for about 20 minutes after every hour of driving - even before we got out of New York! I had such a headache and was so dizzy from my sinuses, I literally had to take a break after every hour of driving. We were supposed to cover 7 1/2 hours of drive time - we only got 5 done and I had to stop for the night.
Tuesday's driving went much better, but then, my sinuses were much better, too. I will never follow through with long driving plans again when they are so aggravated. It was so miserable.
So, I am going to leave you with some pics the kids took on the drive down. Enjoy!
