I've already thanked Jesus a million times that I lost a lot of weight last year because I'm still impressed I can climb back into that little hole between the seat and soothe/feed/etc. But its NOT COMFORTABLE. I need a van. I mean. I didn't just say that. <br /><br />Anyway. I feel your pain. Oh camden. The only good thing there is that awesome aquarium :)Katie @ Loves of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841348340467277988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-78019904331791415202012-09-03T13:11:27.631-04:002012-09-03T13:11:27.631-04:00omg I can't imagine doing a trip like that alo...omg I can't imagine doing a trip like that alone. ps- I hate the Jersey turnpike.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589500389134078994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-64958217278714935322012-09-02T13:12:44.387-04:002012-09-02T13:12:44.387-04:00At least you are honest with us all.

We are doing a major road trip in two weeks (moving 9 hours north of where we live now) and this is a great reminder to stop before it's too late.

I didn't feel safe being locked in the car at the rest stop so instead I sat in the rest stop and fed her a bottle. And it was a small stop so EVERYONE who walked in saw me first!

Now that J is potty trained too, I start asking like 2 miles before each rest stop "Jules do you have to go potty" hoping that she will give me the heads up!

It took me 2 stops just to get to Ocean City, MD from the Baltimore area and the entire trip I was playing "rest stop roulette" in my mind, seeing how far I could push the envelope.Lucy Minerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08400548005762884579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-5614448443210368302012-08-31T15:03:52.661-04:002012-08-31T15:03:52.661-04:00Glad you (and the babes!) survived.

After than it's BR or bust since there's very little and what is on the road is not somewhere you want to change a baby (assuming they even have a changing station).
