We had our first trip to Columbus OH for the Blaine Wilson Sportsfest. It took over 6 hours to get there, and over 8 HOURS to get home because we hit bad weather. The kids didn't even seem to notice how long it took ... they were so wrapped up in their tablets. I certainly felt the length of the drive, but the weekend was overall an enjoyable one. Just wish we didn't have so many meets during bad weather situations.
