December 31, 2007


Suki and Grace on the worst ride of our entire lives.

We were delayed in leaving Atlanta because of David's illness and then this morning Grace and Suki seemed a little sick. The full force of the illness didn't manifest itself until we'd reached South Carolina and Grace kept getting sick as we careened down the road. We had to keep pulling over to get her cleaned up and in new outfits. She and Suki had a hard time really resting in their car seats and so there were no real naps to be had. We were on the road for hours longer than on the trip down (12 hours, I think?) and the girls were miserably unhappy. Given that we didn't know how bad their illness was going to get and we were traveling through very rural parts of the south we knew it was best just to get home where we knew they'd get good medical care if they needed it. It was just a horrible, horrible drive and the only good part was that we were able to reach our house a couple hours before midnight. Not a recommended way to spend New Year's Eve.
