After 12.5 loooong hours the kids and I finally made it to Missouri to see mom and Gene. I thought the trip would be uneventful but I was wrong. My youngest has suddenly developed car sickness. Oh the joys of motherhood.
I think we made it about two hours down the road before he got sick. There’s nothing like pulling over on the interstate and yanking an 8 year old out of the car. But he was much better after that little episode and I kept pumping him with gatorade just to make sure.
I have to share some pictures with you all so you can see just how much a little VW Jetta can hold!
The backseat…
The trunk…
It was like riding in a clown car. We had a 20″ bike, two suitcases, two laptop bags, 6 finished quilts, a model airplane, a cooler, an AccuQuilt, an AccuQuilt Go Baby, two pillows, two backpacks, over 10 yards of fabric, a bag full of Moda precuts, bags of snacks, and let’s not forget 3 humans! And amazingly enough, I could even see out the back window!
Tomorrow I hope to share pictures of the quilt I finished for Gene. I surprised him with it tonight.
I’m off to bed to try to get some sleep. Maybe mom and I can get a little sewing in tomorrow.
Hey, I am in northwest Missouri. What part of the state are you in? I hope you have a fun visit. Car sickness is no fun. Enjoy your sewing time with your mom.
Glad you got there safely Vicki!! Sounds like you are going to have some cutting fun while visiting!!

Glad you made it safely to your destination. I agree with Melissa that you are most definitely skilled at packing. 🙂
Connie (Quilting by the River)emailed me last evening to say I had won the Batik giveaway. I want to thank you for sponsoring. I surely was shocked that I won! Can’t wait to make something from those gorgeous fabrics. They are such great colors, too.
Be safe…..and sew like crazy. 🙂
Please help pass the word onto all quilters so we can show Aurora first responders and survivors how much we care:
