Whenever a road trip begins super early in the morning we stop at McDonalds for breakfast. It's usually a great family friendly stop: food for all of us, coffee, toilets and a play area for the kids. Good Friday, it turns out, is not a good time to stop there. The kids were sick, shooting "snot rockets" (term borrowed from a twin club friend) and so couldn't use the playground, they'd been stuck in the car for 2 hours (alot for a pair of 2.5yr olds) and we were asking them to stay still and sit calmly in a room that was chaotic. To add to it, we waited 45 minutes to an hour for breakfast.... I know it was busy, but it wasn't THAT busy. I think next year we'll pack sandwiches and eat them in the park.
