We had to checkout by 9:00 this morning and surprisingly we were packed up and out before then.
Our first stop was at a Cracker Barrel for the bathroom and then the back of a Walmart parking lot to have our lunch. (Somewhere right before Emporia, I can't remember the exit) This stop was more relaxing than on the parking lot on the way down. However, this is where the troubles began...after eating Finn had a poopy diaper which created a horrible diaper rash. She hadn't pooped almost the whole week so I knew this was going to be the start of several more. We put the combo medicine on her that we go before we went to the beach and got back on the road. We didn't make it five minutes before she was screaming and crying because she had gone again. We pulled off the next exit and changed her diaper on the tailgate again. The rash looked worse already. I sat in the truck with her and got her cooled back down and calmed down and then we got back on the road. We ended up having to stop 3 more times. It was awful, she was in so much pain that she was screaming and fighting us trying to change her. Other than being sick, I don't remember her crying like this before. By the time we stopped the last time, her rash was even bleeding. Luckily, our last stop was at one of the county fire stations and we were able to make it home. It took her a few days to completely recover and for the rash to heal. I think we would have made it home in record time if we did not have the rash and poopy diapers to deal with...poor baby!
The garden exploded while we were gone!
We didn't make our second cobbler until we got home. Britton brought us fresh blackberries from his house so we used those and it was delicious.
One last meal from the beach!
