This year, we traveled to Virginia to spend Thanksgiving with my family at my sister’s house. The trip was supposed to take 10 hours according to Mapquest. We factored in an extra 2 hours for Bean stops and traffic. Turns out, we were in the car for almost 14 hours. We ended up stopping and spending the night at a hotel. Instead of writing about our travels, I took some video for you. So its almost like you were in the car with us.
And with Bean.
For 14 hours.
In traffic.
Lucky, lucky you…
This first video was taken during the first leg of the trip.
A couple hours later, we stopped to fuel up and get Beanie ready for bed…
And then this last video is from early on Thanksgiving morning…
