The day was finally here for us to travel back home after a fun-filled week at the beach. We decided to leave around 8-8:30 am that morning but Luke decided to have other plans for us. Luke woke up at 3:30 am that morning and refused to go back to sleep. We had the majority of our stuff packed we just had to finish up the rest of it that morning. Since Luke refused to NOT go back to sleep Doug and I decided to go ahead and head home. We left Orange Beach at 4:45 am and headed home. We had no traffic whatsoever and were able to breeze on through the Mobile Bay Tunnel without a problem. Unfortunately it go quiet before we hit the tunnel and I look back to see what they were doing and both boys were passed smooth out. Luke was asleep and Will had thrown the blanket over him because it was too sunny outside and he wanted to sleep. They slept till we got 30 minutes outside of Meridian (2.5 hours almost). We prayed before every traffic light that we got to so we wouldn't have to stop and the boys would wake up. Luckily we only got stuck at one light and they never woke up. We got to Meridian and stopped and ate breakfast at McDonald's which was around 8-8:30 am. After breakfast we headed home and arrived by 12 noon. We unpacked and all of us took another nap that afternoon.
In a way, I'm kind of glad they woke up so early and it made the drive so much easier. It was a good peaceful 2.5 hours with 2 kids sleeping.
