On our drive back to NC, we made our now-traditional stop at the Charleston Krispy Kreme. It's a good break, about three hours into the trip, and they have windows where you can watch the donuts being made. It was in this shop that we had a big breakthrough--we hadn't brought Simon's water bottle in, so when he seemed thirsty we gave him some of Alice's milk with a straw. He gulped some down (this is the child who has refused to drink cold milk his entire life so far). Thanks, Krispy Kreme!
The rest of the drive was pretty uneventful, except that I had some cheap glow sticks for the kids to play with in the dark, and Simon bent them in half, causing them to leak. The only other eventful thing was that I gave Alice an apple to eat in the car when it was dark, and this is what we found when we unpacked.
