We stayed a while to swim again in the morning before we left the hotel so that (maybe) the kids would rest in the car and we could take a break to stop for lunch.
It was a pretty yucky day out but we did have one stop scheduled at the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park, courtesy of RoadTrippers. It was early in the drive and was probably the stop farthest off our path, but I really thought we needed something to break up the day and it sounded really neat.
Here is what we saw when we arrived at the destination, courtesy of Waze.
We had just driven through a part of town where I was glad our doors auto-lock and we had to pull into an unused parking lot to see this across the street. The kids wanted to get out and walk around but I insisted we just look out the window and proceeded to curse RoadTrippers as I tried to change a baby in the passenger seat of the car.
It was humorously frustrating, but I guess that's the risk you take planning a roadtrip through an app. And we headed on our way.
And as we were driving, we passed...
The ACTUAL whirligig park.
Which REALLY WAS neat and exciting. Turns out RoadTrippers is awesome after all!
Of course, the trip took much longer than we planned. The weather was yucky and we were all tired, but at least we made it!
We unloaded the half-house we brought and the girls opened Easter baskets and made a giant mess. It was a fantastic welcome.
