I'm going to kill you, Lilly Smith!

Sara and Sam did a great job leading us to the Lillehammer train station, which included a train change in Dombås and of course the clue was Don't be a dumb ass, change trains here. Do you really think I could resist that? Everything was going great until they got the next clue, a map. Using this map, find your way to 24 Birkebeinervegan. Easy, yes? I thought a regular map might be too hard, so we used Google maps and drew the line that showed the best route. It was the easiest clue, or so I thought. Well, it turns out that Sara doesn't know how to read a map. Really? Is this actually possible that she doesn't know how to use a map? So the kids were sort of screwed now, since Sam can't read anything, and the pressure finally got to Sara and she had a bit of a meltdown. It didn't help that the directions were up an enormous hill covered in icy sidewalks. So Sara wasn't in a good state of mind, and she refused our help and instead headed back to the train station in quite a mood. At least she has the map, Jon said. Determined not to let one bad attitude ruin the adventure, we let her go back to cool off, and just when I wasn't able to take it anymore I saw her heading back up the hill. Fine, we can move on. So remember those icy, hilly sidewalks? Sam wanted his turn to complain, I guess, so he spent the rest of the walk whining about how he was sooooooooo tired from walking. Luckily, we were heading to a hotel (24 Birkebeinervegan is the address) so that the kids could rest their weary feet and attitudes, and Jon and I could lock ourselves in the bathroom.
