Road Trip

I decided to take a trip to SC for the weekend since Tony was gone for work. I was a bit nervous since I hadn't traveled that far with Lakely alone, and at this age. When she was younger it was no sweat because she slept most of the time but now its a whole new ball game! If you have ever traveled with me before, you know that I DO NOT do well if I have to back track, or stop several times along the way- I despise it. I want to leave on time, get there at precisely my ETA, and endure no unnecessary stops. Well, as you can imagine, things didn't go my way-but I didn't expect them to either. I did however get there before my ETA, which was fab, but it took 7 hours and 3 stops. Lakely was by far better than I had hoped. I don't think I have ever allowed her to snack for hours on end before, but it worked!

Once we got there, Lakely and Charlie reunited and it seemed they picked up right where they left off. He so gentlemanly-like rolled her suitcase into the house for her. It was so funny seeing him with a bright pink princess bag! During our stay we enjoyed great company, many of laughs, and yummy food :) We couldn't have been more comfortable- THANKS JENNY & JASON!

I learned a whole lot about myself during our trip as well. Never should I question my ability to "single-parent" her, manage her tantrums, soothe her sniffles, rock her to sleep or change a diaper standing up. (It never failed- several times during our trip we would stop somewhere without a changing table). No matter how big or small the situation may seem, you adapt and overcome! (Thanks T)!
