Well, going to South by Southwest was a true adventure.
And the adventure started very, very early in the morning when I started a road trip to Austin with fellow blogger, and friend Autumn from Mama Challenge. I’m not sure it was smart to bring a video camera along – but we did!
We were very lucky that Buick loaned us a brand new 2014 Lacrosse to drive to Austin! And some of it’s creature comforts really saved two grumpy, sleep deprived, and caffeine deficient moms from losing their sanity on the way! Hallelujah for seat warmers, OnStar & satellite radio!
