Weekend of Wii and Pizza

This weekend I got to spend time with Mikes nephews. There was a lot of junk food and video game action over the duration! We don't get to spend too much time with the kids but now that school's out, we'll be able to see a lot more of them.

The only drag is the drive to pick them up. They live about 40 minutes away. Its not that far but it is that boring. Like a flat sea of nothing to look at! On that drive, it's easy to get a heavy foot if you know what I mean. I dont get too worried though, it's a flat stretch with not a lot of patrol on it. Plus I have one of those handy dandy radars that let me know if I should ease up on the gas pedal. I haven't had it for very long and but it does come in handy! It alerts me if there's any road hazards, emergency vehicles, railroad crossings and if someone's on patrol! If your ever traveling it is something I would definitely recommend having, and using.

*Travel Tips* -

• Pack a "Car Kit" for each child. Choose age-appropriate items including crayons or markers, pads of paper, bandanas, personal travel pillows, games, small toys, a few treats
• Pack electronic devices. Consider a Radar Detector, portable DVD player, GPS receiver, and audio books. Electronic entertainment devices can be helpful if you're stuck in a traffic jam or you've exhausted all other options.
• Pack good eats. Though the kids may argue this point, it is not necessary to stop at every fast-food joint along the way. In fact, it is possible to get good nutrition on the road. Make sure everyone drinks twice as much water as they might at home. Take a good cooler along and eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables

Well aside from the drive the weekend was a lot of fun. The kids brought their Wii, and we rented a fun game, and bought some Take N Bake pizza.

(*Tip for when cooking pizza- After baking on the tray for 10 minutes, slide it directly onto the rack for a few minutes to crisp it up!*)

I know the kids had fun and so did we, so it was tough having to take them back home. We, once again, made that 40 minute drive (radar protected drive that is) both ways and stopped off for Frostys to end the weekend on a high note.
