We left Kentucky a week ago for a visit to my parents in Iowa. This was our first attempt at a long-distance car trip with the kids, so we decided to break it up into two days, with a number of detours along the way. We first drove up to Columbus to meet the friends that Sydney was living with for much of this spring, and the kids were thrilled to realize that Sydney had been staying in a house with four kids. After lunch, we packed all of the kids into the car and headed up to the Columbus Zoo, where we balanced walks among the exhibits with some playground time.
