After two days of packing and preparing for our 10 hour trip to Florida crammed into a full size rental car (Nissan Altima) with a 2 year old and an almost 6 month old you learn a few things about yourself as a parent.

1. Kendall can have as many french fries as her little heart desires as long as she’s not yelling.

2. As many times as you tell yourself “only use the iPad as a last resort” 20 minutes in your singing Let It Go along with your 2 year old.

3. When your not hungry every restaurant known to mankind will be available at every single exit. When your ready to stop the only restaurant you will pass for at least an hour will be McDonald’s. When you finally settle on something a Chic-Fil-A will be at the next exit.

4. Sometimes you just need to squeeze in between the car seats and play with your girls, add another memory to the bank of fatherhood and just roll with the punches because everything is going to be alright.
