What a day! And way to keep calm as long as you did, especially with the boarding ticket… I love the imagery - I feel like I’m there. It’s so beautifully written and so relatable.
I, too, think you handled this like a champ. To do all that travel, and then have to drive 100 miles?! Wow. That is a serious commitment to a vacation.
Emma, your essays never fail to bring back memories of travel with my little kids. Yes. Unfortunately they grow. And then stories like these become the stuff of treasured tales!
Every detail in this story hits the mark and takes me back to all the trips made with my kids. I enjoyed reading this so much Emma. And your patience lasted SO much longer than mine ever did on such epic family voyages.

"You're not even driving, Mom." hahahahaha kids!
I cannot believe how fast you wrote this and under the conditions you were in. This was so funny and captured a travel day with kids so well.
