On our way to ND

Heading to North Dakota for the All School Reunion and Papa Rex's birthday party.

We usually leave pretty early in the morning thinking that little Miss Esme will sleep a bit.  I don't know why we hope for this because it never happens.  We left home around 5:30am.  By the time we got to Fargo, Esme needed to get out of the car so we stopped at the mall in Fargo.  It wasn't open yet, but the little play area for kids was open and no one else was there!  I took a few pictures of the play area because I think it's very cool!

After we left there we went to Starbucks for me and to the empty lot behind Starbucks for the dogs to run around a bit.  Then we were back on the road to NE.

Esme did really great the entire trip.  She never slept though, that is until we had about 10 minutes left of our almost 9 hour drive.  Right by the Dickinson Airport she finally fell asleep.

Oh well, some sleep is better than none, right?
