Flying and Driving

We were up and out the door on time.  Parked in long term parking.
The flight was quiet.  Both kids fell asleep.  The little man for about an hour and the little woman for almost the whole flight.  She was tired. 
We landed and taxied and taxied and taxied.  Oh yeah...we are at O'hare.  Then we missed a sign to baggage claim.  Got some directions.  Got more directions and our bag was waiting for us.  Caught the shuttle to the rental car center.  Got a van to the rental car place.  Did not get the Nissan I had rented. They just gave it to the woman ahead of me.  So they gave me a Durango.  Doesn't even look like a Durango anymore. 
And on the road we were.  The lady at the rental car place told me to be sure and pay my tolls since I opted not to buy the Ipass.  Of course I am going to pay my tolls.  Hit the first three just fine.  Was in the wrong lane for the last one and could not get over.  Damn. Going to have to figure out how to pay that so I don't get socked with a $50 from the rental car place. 
It was dark and late by the time we got to Kokomo.  I heard a lot of "how much further?" and "we are never going to get there."  We got there and the siblings were asleep.  But they gave Mommy lots of loves.  And so their new adventure begins.
