July 29, 2012 - All Day in the Car

Our last day on the road.  Going home is always so much harder I think.  We left around 8:00.  No shower, a quick breakfast, just get the heck out of there.  Brigham woke up every two hours in the night.  Not a whole lot of fun for me.  So we finally got out of there and I had a snooze for a bit in the morning.  Around 11:00 we stopped for gas and switched drivers.  Fortunately we didn't have a wait at the border, but Brig was getting a little cranky.  So we stopped in Cardston for some lunch.  And then we tried to burn it home.  Traffic was a little nuts from Calgary to Edmonton, just a crazy Sunday afternoon.  Brigham also decided it was a good time to practice is pterydactyl screeching.  We were all ready to be home and out of the car.  Hence I didn't really want to stop for gas.  We got to the gas station by our house with our car saying 0km to Empty.  So I wonder how much more you can drive after that.  We didn't want to find out.  We went for a short walk and gave Brig a bath and he was off to bed early.  It was such a fun trip.  I was glad to do all the fun things we did and to see my brother and Alisha, but it is good to be home!
