i was haggard before we began. i lost our traveling money, and couldn't sleep the night before we left since my brain was busy berating myself because of it. i planned on going to sleep at 6pm so i could wake up at 3:00 am and drive through the rest of the night, seamlessly crossing off half the driving before arriving in ashland for breakfast. but i woke up to adah having peed all over me, and before i even began driving i needed some toothpicks to keep my eyes open. i hoped bug would sleep for the entire first half of the drive, since it was the middle of the night and all, but she successfully slept for ONE WHOLE HOUR. thankfully she was very amused by ivy and bean audio cd's. so amused that as the elevation got higher, i pulled over to sleep for a half an hour under a pear tree while she found out exactly how many tricks the two girls could play on bean's older sister.despite the rough beginning, we actually had a great trip. we listened to lots of books and loud music, had a walking tour of ashland's best bakeries, she watched a movie and ate lots of snacks, we stopped at the jelly belly factory and voila! 14 hours later we arrived to food on the table, great friends, and a much needed rest.
