Long drive to Halifax

We have rented a car in Montreal- not just any car, a fancy shiny new minivan with a GPS that tells you where to go out loud, except for when you go off the route that it planned for you, it starts saying "make a U turn if possible" and getting really mad at you. This van also has an iPod music USB connecter and three DVD screens; one for the front row of seats, one for the middle row and one for me (in the back). Unfortunately, it doesn't play movies from iPods, only from discs, and we didn't bring any discs of movies on our trip. But using the screens, I can see the digital clock display the time on three different screens at once.
Anyways, we're on our way to Halifax, and we all ordered at a french McDonalds, which Jeff found challenging and the people working there found hilarious (they were impressed by the french that Tobin knew, though). Then we didn't brush our teeth and slept in the car while Lise and Jeff switched off driving through the night. I can't say I got a good nights sleep, because I fell asleep at midnight and woke up at five thirty and woke up in the night every time Lise and Jeff stopped to switch. So now we are still in the car and on our way (2 hours left) to Halifax.
Oh yeah, and we also have I think five little train kits now (plastic bags with an activity book, crayons, and a cardboard model train in them that people working on the train or in the station give to kids) because everyone thought that Tobin was cute, and so he got a lot of them.
