The day we had to travel home from the beach was also my birthday so we took it easy because I didn’t want to be scrambling. The girls gave me this card with 40 candles when I got up.
We stopped for a photo of this guy that the girls liked.
We stopped for BBQ for my birthday lunch. YUM!
I told the girls they needed to take a nap. Dani got mad and put her blanket over her head to pout. Then promptly fell asleep. Outside of Austin we stopped at IKEA to give the girls a long stretch break and to check out the beds for Amelie. We also had dinner there and Mike bought the girls each a toy which they love when going to IKEA.
The drive home was nice. I got lots of texts and phone calls wishing me happy birthday. The funniest call was from my brother who told me he was sorry I was turning 40 because once he turned 30 it was all downhill (he is 32 now). The most exciting call was from my sister Tahni who called from Belgium and I hadn’t heard her voice since July.
