Long car journeys

This morning we are driving to Cornwall on holiday. That's roughly 4 hours in the car with two young children. Sigh. I love my girls so much but being stuck in a car for that long brings out the worst in everyone! Unfortunately Livia is slightly past the sleeping-whenever-in-the-car phase. Chloe is usually very good in the car but hasn't done a journey as long as this in a long time. She also

went down with a fever on Saturday and an emergency trip to the dr's diagnosed her with mild tonsillitis which has, understandably left her rather irritable. Fun fun.

We are currently 3 hours in and Chloe has been transferred to my parents car (so grateful they brought the spare car seat along with them!). We just had the drama of her telling them that she 'need the toilet!!'. We hastily pulled over and tried to get her to go at the side of the road before she admitted she didn't really need it. Ha!

Livia has been crying on and off in between sleeps. I feel sorry for her just gazing at the back seat but it's very hard to entertain a baby in the car! We had a stop at a lovely tea shop in Honiton so I could feed her and Chloe could stretch her legs. It was definitely good to have a break from the car.

I'm so excited about our holiday. I love that we are staying in a cottage. We usually camp, which I do enjoy, but it will be nice to have some home comforts. It will also be good to have some time with my parents; not to mention the help with the children! I am hopeful that we will have nice weather (pleeease). It's currently tipping it down but the forecast is sunny/cloudy for the rest of the week. 

Hooray for holidays, boo to long car journeys. Less than hour until we're there!
