Day 31 - Driving from Salt Lake City to Reno

Believe it or not, this was a pretty enjoyable 7 1/2 hour drive down I-80. We turned on The audiobook of Percy Jackson 3: Titan's Curse and listened to it almost the whole drive. We had a little over an hour left when the book finished and we turned on a movie.

When we get a long drive where the kids behave like they did today, I feel extremely lucky. Kids Two and Three played well together in the back row. Kid One took care of Kid Five when she needed anything. Kid Four slept a lot. We only needed to stop twice for bathrooms breaks. I like when we listen to books instead of watch movies because the kids get to see all the scenery around us. Today we saw the Great Salt Lake, lots of salt plains, mountains, trains, cows, and a few prisons.
