She just couldn't sleep in the car...
We decided to go to Austin, mostly because we were thinking about the potential downed roadways on the return back to Houston from Lafayette, which could see more damage than the route coming home from Austin. So here we are at my mom's! We have the same crew of evacuees from Rita: TJ/CM and their kids and LW. Good crew! :) It took us almost 8 hours to get to Austin, when it otherwise takes us about 3. There was lots of traffic from Katy to Columbus. We saw that coming, even though Houston Transtar said it was pretty much all "green" (we knew better). We stopped at a Whataburger to eat at around 11pm, and they were handling the evacuee in-rush really well. We left Houston at around 6:45pm and arrived at my mom's at almost 2am. THANKS MOM!
Anna didn't sleep much in the car because she just couldn't get comfy in the car seat. Once here she had a tough time sleeping because she was so spun up. She got overall about 6hrs of sleep as opposed to her usual 12, and Paul and I are on about 4 hours of sleep. Whew!
We are very comfy here. Though I am regretful I forgot to remove the yogart and biscuits and stuff I left in my frigde. That won't be fun to come home to! Maybe that's all the damage we'll get :)
