Yesterday morning, I dropped Benny off with his brother and they headed to Kansas City, Missouri to help their sister move to West Texas. From here to her house is about 10 hours (when you are pulling a trailer). They got there and started loading up all her stuff into the trailer and the U-haul.
Today, Benny is driving the U-haul and at 6pm called me and was not a happy camper. They had been on the road for 6 hours and had only driven about 250 miles! They wont be making it to their destination until about 1am.
Then, tomorrow morning, they have to unload all her stuff and make the 8 hour drive home.
I am so glad I did not have to make this trip with them!
Benny loves to drive and doesn't mind making long trips. We backroad so much and make lots of trips to far away places that our kids are the best little travelers. We don't mind the 8 hour trip to his moms house and always have a good time.
This time, he is not enjoying the trip. He said apparently, he only likes long trips with us.
Benny has made this trip before (from KC to west TX) and knows the way. Benny's sis knows the way (she is driving her car). Benny's mom know the way (she is driving Benny's sisters other car). Benny's brother is in front of their little convoy and for some reason, he is trying to follow the GPS's directions (with the volume turned down). He keeps going the wrong way because he is reading the GPS and not looking at the road signs. Plus, the GPS wanted to make them go about 70 miles out of the way. This is making for a very long and frustrating trip for Benny.
I think Benny is ready to get in his brothers truck and smash the GPS!

Lol.
The gps will lie to you too!!!
UGH, I hate long drives....
Okay Benny should have been leading this convoy since he knew where he was going. GPS's are nice, but they only know so much.
I agree, Poor Benny! i always hate driving in convoys. I never want to follow anyone when I know where I'm going!
Ahhh...we call our GPS Greta and she has been good to us...so far! :o)
