My beautiful baby girl in the passenger seat at a gas station in Bridgeport CT waiting for Daddy to get back with a warmed up bottle for her. We got on the road at 8:15 - went to Dunkin Donuts and got off the road again at 8:30 to go back to the house for Annie's bottles which were still in the fridge at home! Then we hit traffic in Bridgeport so at 10 a.m. when it was time for Ann to eat we had traveled all of 30 miles and yes, the kids had already asked if we were there yet!
Molly waiting patiently while Daddy gave Annie a bottle in Bridgeport. Little did they know there were many hours left at this point. Peter and Molly were just so excited to be missing school and FINALLY going to Washington that they could have cared less about anything else!
Peter - thrilled that the big trip had finally arrived and loving his special place in the way back with blankets covering all the suitcases to make it more comfy for him!
Banana getting her bottle in Bridgeport - boy, does this kid go with the flow!
We stopped in Pennsylvania for some outside time and to let poor Annie out of her car seat - she was enthralled by the flags at the rest stop.
Everyone enjoying being out of the car for a while. Daddy played some games with Pete and Molly to help them expend some energy and then we all piled back in the car for the last leg of our trip!
Daddy and his girls in Pennsylvania!
Annie Bananie bundled up and getting some fresh air! She was an absolute love on the ride - never fussed, cried or whined once......and we forgot to feed her at one point for over an hour and a half! I thought she looked so cute with red eyes and nose form the wind!
Peter resting on the bed in the hotel when we finally arrived at 5 p.m.
Molly girl found a princess couch for her lounging pleasure and decided that she might want to sleep there tonight! 
My angel! She feel asleep in the stroller at dinner and we transferred her to the pack and play where she slept soundly through the big kids showers, a show and impatient parents trying to get the other two to bed. As long as she has her binkie and her blankie Ann will survive anything!
Molly Doll in her princess bed. She was so excited that there was a place special for her that she drifted off very shortly after this picture. I personally think that anything would be better than sharing a bed with her brother but..........
Peter has the whole bed to himself and the little ham is loving life right now! He drifted off quickly and is dreaming of museums and zoos right now! Not sure what is on the agenda for tomorrow but I do know that everyone will sleep well tonight - especially those children who were given Benedryl! Just kidding DCF! I was tempted, though!
I have to be at my conference at 8:30 am - not too bad considering. Tomorrow is a very clinical day and since I am not a DMD or an MD I should have some down time to spend with the family. Tomorrow night we are thinking about doing the night time trolley tour of the monuments with the kids - it supposed to be fabulous - expensive but you only live once and we have 2 free passes from the conference!
All things considered the kids were incredibly well behaved. They all had their moments but they rallied and hung in there and were SO excited when we got here! Right now they are all blissfully asleep and looking adorable! MOre updates tomorrow from the obssessive blogger!
