Travel Tip #1:

Always have MANY changes of clothes as well as towels, bleach, a shop vac and empty plastic diaper boxes at your disposal in case the following ever happens to you!

So, there we were.  We had our camper.  We had our big truck to pull it.  (this isn't where the tip comes in handy...that is later...kind of at the end.) We were all packed up and ready to go to PA and begin our adventure.  Then we get the call.  Yup...you guessed it...basically a blizzard in PA and no way to get our camper there.  After much deliberation (I am not gonna lie, it was a punch in the chest to have to consider other options right at this point)  it was decided that Chris would go on to PA and the kids and I would take a mini-vacay to see my sister and her family (to include my new neice) in slightly more S TX than we were and then on to AL to hang out with my in-laws for a few weeks and spend Christmas with family. 

Soo...The kids and I get to my sisters just great.  Spend a few days there for baby cuddles and hang out then begin the 12-18 hr trip (depending on traffic, potty stops, fits thrown, weather, etc) from TX to AL.  We are making it Great!  We get to AL in decent time, not great, but it is ok.  Right before dark (and about 3-4 hrs from our destination) I am talking to Chris (On speaker phone in the car) and all of the sudden:
"Mommy"-A
"Just a minute"-Me
"Trystan is throwing up"-A
"Gotta go!!"-Me

So, there I am-Trystan is all kinds of projectile in the back seat and I don't have a clue where to get off the interstate.  Finally-I frantically find a place to pull off.  I cannot get over to get to the gas station so I end up in the parking lot of a small shopping center.  I dig clothes out of the trunk.  Get Trystan out-remove the "evidence" from his face and hands and strip the poor boy down to his diaper by the car.  half a box of wipes, a change of clothes, and a towel over his carseat later he is dressed, clean and sitting in Alexis' seat waiting on me to finish wiping the "evidence"  from the back of the front passenger seat, the cupholders, the toys, and etc.  And again...all of the sudden:
"Mommy"-A
"Just a minute"-Me
"GO AWAY!  GO AWAY!  GO TO THE GRASS!!! NOOWWWW!!!!!  GET AWAY FROM THE CAR!!!"-Me

Did she make it to the grass-I am afraid not!  So begins clean up #2. 

Change of clothes, 1/4 box of wipes, towel...OH NO!!  Trystan is sick...again!!!

So begins clean up #3.  Full box of wipes, 3 changes of clothes, 2 plastic bags, a towel, a jacket, a bottle of water, a coffee, 2 pepsi maxxs, and some dramamine later...we are back on the road!!

Following "Back on the road" is "Crying on the phone", "Just get it into the wipe box!!", and my rendition of "I am not talking b/c I am sick now too but I don't wanna pull over so I gotta hold it in".  All tunes I could do without for...ever!

My in-laws were great when we finally made it and also while I was sick the entire next day.  To include-taking the car to get cleaned after seeing what was UNDER the car seats.  It went something like "leave everything in it and take it to a professional!"

Soo...always be prepared!!!  And...after you get done crying...make sure you laugh a little too!
