We left last Friday for Pensacola to see Ben's dad for his birthday. The party was to be on Saturday at Ben's sister Ruth's house. We were almost to Montgomery (half way) when I asked Ben to call his sister just to get some more details about the party. It ended up that she told Ben that 4 of her 5 kids had had the flu last week. There was no way that Andrew was going to be around them since he was just recovering from an ear infection/cough/runny nose. I told Ben that Andrew & I would just stay at his dad's house during the party and that they should go on to the party Saturday evening. Ben then said why don't I take you and Andrew home and you guys go over to your parents for the weekend and then I will go back to P'cola. This is what we ended up doing. Needless to say, it took us 9 hours, a tank of gas and 420 miles to go from Hampton to Covington which should only take 1 hour. I don't think Andrew would have made it another 10 minutes in the car seat! He was very mad about being stuck in the seat! I think it is about time to buy the portable DVD player for him! We had a good time at my moms and it sounds like Ben & his Dad had a good time in P'cola.

What an understanding husband you have!! Portable DVD players are a LIFESAVER!!! Glad you got to spend some time with your parents!
Girl, get him a DVD palyer for Christmas - you'll be able to get a good deal around Thanksgiving. They are wonderful for car trips!
My husband, Dennis Fox, had a Ben Yefremov in his science class in Cleveland (MLK Law & Public Service Magnet). Is this Ben the same one?
He's on Facebook, and would LOVE to hear from one of his favorite students, if your Ben is his Ben. Also, his email is ptrafox@gmail.com
