drive to SC

Well we made it to the beach.  The drive was not too bad.  We left about 5:30 on Friday and drove to Lexington.  There we met John's uncle and cousin for dinner.  It was very nice to see them and a good time to stop.   After that we put the girls in their PJs and headed on.  We drove until about midnight.  It was a nice peaceful drive with both girls sleeping soundly in the back seat.  We stopped at a hotel and there Camille didn't sleep so well.  She was awake a lot but Av slept through it all.  Finally she ended up in bed with John and slept better there.  We got up that morning and continued on our way.  The plan was to meet my parents in Columbia SC which was only about 2 hours from where we stayed the night.   John went to college in Columbia for a year so he was going to show us around and we were going to have lunch.  We got there okay and found a Starbucks to wait for my parents.  While waiting John dug the stroller out of the very bottom of our truck.  There we are standing on a street corner basically with all of our belongings everywhere.  We must have looked like quite the sight.  It was at about that point that Camille just lost it.  She started crying and didn't stop.  For awhile.  I think it was a mix of being over tired from not sleeping well or in a bed most of the night before and just being out of sorts.  Plus it was really hot.  My parents were very lost and by this point we couldn't just put the stroller back in the car and start driving again so we needed them to come to us so we could put the stroller in their car.  Camille screamed the WHOLE time.  It was pretty much a nightmare.  So our nice lunch and stroll on the University of South Carolina campus turned into a screaming match and a very bad Wendy's lunch in the car.   Once we were back on the road she fell asleep and slept until we arrived at our house on Folly Beach SC!
