Nothing significant to report for Tuesday, 29 July. The drive was a relatively short 4 1/2 hours, and Kiersten was so well-behaved that we did it in one straight shot. She's starting to eat more normally, which may be helping her behavior. Plus, we think she may be getting used to the concept of being in a car for hours at a time. She's begun self-directing her play again, rather than requiring us to entertain her-- seems to be a pattern every time her life is disrupted.
According to Google Maps, we've driven 2,010 miles so far, which puts us at about 2/5 through our trip. We're pleasantly burning gas (I spent $60 filling the tank today), but the price is coming down the further south we travel. We're also one week into our trip as of today.
Tomorrow, we're moving on to Edmonton, AB, where we'll be spending two nights. Christina hopes to visit a friend, and we'll also spend a day at the West Edmonton Mall. (Any mall with its own amusement park and aquarium is worth spending a day in.) Tomorrow's drive will be a little over 300 miles, or about 6 hours. We're also switching from the Pacific to the Central time zone; since we'll be losing an hour, we may leave an hour or two earlier to catch up.
Tomorrow should be tiring, but the trip will be worth it!
Distance traveled to date: 2,012 miles.
