Hervey bay / Bundaberg road trip

Mr knightly got called to go to Hervey bay for work so we decided to do a road trip up there :) We left at abt 8am (Hubby was going to leave at 3am but slept in. he he)So i packed snacks etc. for the kids and everyone had there drink bottles which is a must for all adventures. We got to Hervey bay about 10:30am and Mr knightly got to work and the kids played Tiggy around the Chapel grounds and Lydia drank so much water from the bubblier that i thought she would be wee weeing all the way home :) While they did that i caught up on a bit of family history, on which i had stocked some research into the car for on the way up and about.Lydia chased some birds and Lizzie tripped over (of coarse) so we needed some first aid and nappy change for Lydia. After that we went and got lunch and decided to go visit my Brother in Bundaberg. We got out "Lee" (that is the name of our navman, Mr knightly named him lol)and typed in my brothers address and off we went, apparently about 1 1/2 hrs drive....NOT!!! It took us up back roads etc. So Mr knightly ignored him and we just went our own way and got back onto the highway and eventually got to Bundy lol. We stopped at woollies and re-supplied the car for on the way home. we got to my brothers in time to catch him before he went to work, and we had a couple of hours there and enjoyed catching up with them and all the cousins got to have a bit of a play and catch up to :)I think it was especially good for Darcy as he doesn't have any Boy cousins his age down in Brissy and he got to hang out with his male cousins which are around his age. It was good to see :)We headed off about 6:15pm, grabbed drive-thru, and headed home.. Mr knightly bought me a book for my birthday so i read it n the way home and i finished it just as we pulled into our street at about 10:30pm. the kids where fantastic the whole day only one slight disagreement and that was about half an hour before we got home.The only thing that i will say about the trip was that someone MUST of eaten something because the whole way up and back we were getting "Lethal gassed" out!!! We would have to put down the windows (that was if Mr knightly would unlock the auto windows) to blow the smell out!!! The kids loved it with the windows down and the the wind was blowing everything about and Lydia was yelling at the top of her little voice "Windy,Windy"!!!
