Road Trip

I am so behind on my posts, it is sad. I have a "Happy Easter" post to share, and then some about preparing for and taking our trip. I'll try to catch you up. So, last Thursday we left Ashburn, VA at 11am and arrived in Detroit, MI at 10:00pm. The boys were really great on their first road trip together. It took a long time because every stop took between 35-50 minutes. It's not easy for one person to juggle two kids on a road trip, but we managed. Joey slept between stops and MJ watched a few movies and told me about all the things he saw on the road. LOTS of Trucks!

We spent Friday - Sunday at Notre Dame. Mario was at a football coaches conference for Friday and Saturday. MJ, Joey, and I just hung out at ND and met up with Aunt Kathy who is a Sophomore there. There happened to be this fun kid thing going on North Quad with a petting zoo and other fun games for kids, so we checked that out. Sunday we went to church at the Basilica where we got married (which is always so fun to go back to). MJ was adorable on campus and kept telling us about all the things he saw (Golden Dome, Grotto, Touchdown Jesus). He really loved the Basilica and was so quiet and in awe of the atmosphere. After church he kept talking about getting "more Jesus" as we walked around campus, it was pretty cute.

Now Mario is back in Michigan for work, and I'm in St. Louis visiting my parents and Erin and Dave. Hopefully I can get the pictures to post so I can share some of our adventures with you. If not, I'll add them when we return home next Wednesday.
