The Journey West: Day One

Day one is complete, children are in bed, quiet is all around.

We crossed the Nova Scotia/New Brunswick boarder this morning and made it to Edmundston before supper time. No one ate anyone, very few lost tempers, and both girls slept most of the way through the first part of the journey.

We dug out devices around 10 this morning and had to explain again and again exactly why the internet wasn't working.

Conversation with Girly: "Why won't it let me do this game? Can I use Google Chrome?"
Us: "You can't. There is no wifi on the road. Google needs wifi."
Her: "What about Google Play? Can I use that?"
Us: "No, Google play needs wifi. What don't we have on the road?"
Her: "What about Google Voice search??"
Us: "No! The Google won't work at all. You have to wait until we are at the hotel."
Her: sigh...

So, it's been a little educational for her about technology and the rustic nature of the ways of road trips.

No one was sick, we discovered in a big way that Monkey is a boredom eater. Every five minutes she's absolutely starving and two minutes away from passing out with fatigue. The boys kept themselves entertained with books and live streaming their thought process while videoing themselves.

We played in the pool when we got in, kids vegged in front of the tv, Sergeant played a new game with Hubby while I went down to the fitness centre for a half hour. And now sleep.

I'm experiencing some technical difficulties, so I don't have pictures to post, but I'll keep working on that.
