Oh the best laid plans! It seemed to make sence at the time. We decided to go across the country to Tennessee, to check out a job my fiance was trying to get. But of course, we couldn't just FLY to tennessee. Nope. First we were going to go by train to California to visit his family and some of mine, then take the train across the country to Boston for a week. And THEN on to Tennessee.
Okay, so that doesn't seem like such a big deal tight. But it is when you realize that we did it with half our kids. We were planning the trip with 2 16 year olds, a 3 1/2 year old with sensory disabilities/autism, two 7 year olds, an 8 month old (only going as far as CA) and two and half month old TRIPLETS!
We figured taht it was going to be hard, dealing with everyone's feeding and sleeping schedules. And pushing around a stroller as big as a landbarge is a bit of a pain. But why should we put our life on hold. We just didn't think about how each of the kids were going to behave or handle the trip. Turns out...Yup, its pretty hectic traveling across country with Triplets. And I am going to copy our journey here.
