A few days after Christmas it was back on the road for the DeMordaunt family. Thanks to Trevor getting us up to the Air Force Base to pick up Wade, then to the edge of California; then to Wade driving us over the pass (Sierra Nevadas--good weather this time!); then mostly to Jim driving us most of the rest of the way on I-80 to Salt Lake City, THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT! arriving at 7am MST. What a way to travel. Poor Mae had it the worst with Trevor's snowboard jutting out over her head, preventing her from sitting up for 12 hours straight (though honestly, who wants to sit up straight when riding in a car all night long?). All were troopers and we basically had an extra day with family thanks to Jim's great late night driving skills.
Our fun and laughter photos are from driving about in daylight (with the snowboard stored indoors). The kids did great some of the time, and we all survived and still love each other, so it was completely worth the close quarters for the week. I will report on the fun that followed another time...
