Keep It Simple! Keep It Fun!

April 20, 2017 7:30AM While the little one kept sleeping, we all got ready and hung out. 8:30AM we drove our friend to Harvard University where she works and then headed straight to Dedham Tesla shop for a car assessment. 10:45AM We were ready to get on the road towards Florida!! Specs of car: Tesla Model X 90D with 259 miles per charge Instead of going down I95, which would take us through NY and D.C., we routed  our way around that traffic area by going through I84West which then turns into I81. Car recommended charging in West Hartford, CT. 1:30PM Before heading to the charging station, we stopped at Besito, a Mexican/Latin restaurant, 12 minutes from the charging station and before it. It is not your typical, casual Mexican restaurant. It was a more high end atmosphere. The place is very big and with super duper tall ceiling. The staff were very friendly. The food was great too! The husband got two enchiladas and the wife got two tacos. Amazing! After lunch, we charg...

April 19 - we worked all day and came home by 4:30pm. We threw everything that we were bringing on the trip into our luggages. Somehow the little one's things took up 1.5 luggage! We packed so fast amd so many things - you would have thought we were running out of the country because the FBI and squad team were coming to get us. We made sure to let Grandma know to not let the little one nap so she can nap during the car ride to Somerville/Boston, the wife's college friend's condo. Successful! Trip down to Somerville, MA Charge when leaving home: 168 miles and stopped by Grandma's house on the way to pick up the little one. When the little one saw all the luggages and her sleeping bag, she said "Go hotel swimming Mama?" We had to prep her little mind that to was not a hotel, but telling her that we weren't staying at a hotel was too hard for her little mind to comprehend, so we said, "This place is like a hotel but it is too small to have a swimmi...

Friends and families have asked for regular updates while we are on our road trip from Maine to Florida with many suggestions to start a blog. Why would they suggest starting a blog? 1. Funny, crazy things happen in our marriage 2. We are driving an all electric Tesla car that requires charging every 2 hours or so and 3. The third passenger is a strong minded toddler, soon to be 3 years old in May. All sounds crazy right? It absolutely is! But! We love spending time together and seeing the world together. We plan to keep our trip simple and keep having fun through the goods and the bads. As many of you know the motto for our Ngo family: Keep It simple! Keep it fun! (We are starting to add "Keep it safe" now that we have added the little one in our life). We hope our families and friends will enjoy our simple posts and feel free to text recommendations (content to share, format, where to eat, what to avoid, etc.) as we drive our way down from Maine to Orlando Florida.
