Saturday I spent the day in my minivan driving from Virginia Beach to Pittsburgh with four, count them, four kids. It took 11 hours. 11 long, hot, whiny hours. According to Mandy, my GPS, it should have only taken 8 hours, but I am too cheap to buy the traffic updates. So, how was I to know that both I-64 AND I-95 would be so packed on a Saturday afternoon? I had faith that Mandy would maneuver me out of it and get us home, safe and happy, within her projected 8 hour time frame.
And this is what I learned... bring a map.
