We started out leaving our house at 7am, with a caravan including us, my parents, and my sister Tara and her husband Ryan. First stop was in Mt. Vernon for gas and coffee. Wayne liked Starbucks, and especially liked Grandpa's coffee (Wayne drank it, Grandpa had to go buy another one!
Cool dude glasses!
Yumm.. Granpa's coffee!
Tyler was our driver... What a man!
We made it to our hotel by 3, and left for the wedding (the reason for the trip, not to mention family fun!) around 4. When we got to the location, we realized it was in the middle of cherry and peach orchards, at a house. They had a great place for the kids to play, and TONS of animals, which of course Wayne loved!
Dad and Weston, waiting for the wedding to begin.
Wayne playing in the playhouse (the girls told him he was a naughty boy because he made a mess and was being wild!)
The wedding
Lucas and Amy
Mom, Cheetah, and Cheetah's daughters-in-law.
Me and Wayne drinking... it was hot!
Tyler snuggling poor Weston... he was WONDERFUL all day, but at this point he had about had it.
Mom held Weston while he FINALLY dozed off.Wayne and Breanne dancing the night away (Wayne LOVES to dance, and really gets his head into it!)
Tyler, me, and a sleeping Weston. Stay tuned for day 2! I know, we are so fascinating, right? We did have a great time on the trip, and the boys did so much better than I ever dreamed. That said, it was a long two days, and I am pooped! Wayne actually asked to take a nap this afternoon, and Weston is napping really well today too. I know how they feel! Between the laundry, etc. today has been pretty full, but I am going to go catch a 15 minute nap myself before Weston wakes up to eat. Here are a few day 1 highlights:
- We heard the word "nack!" from Wayne about a million times on the way there... he was one hungry (or bored!) little boy.
- We paid $3.77 for gas in Mt. Vernon (Everson was $4.09)
- Toys and movies make Road Tripping with a two year old much easier
- Coffee is a necessity when you are driving that far
- Public changing tables are gross, and that's only if you can find one!
- The one thing I didn't want was for Wayne to touch the hotel room floor... which of course is where he wanted to sit all the time (can you see me cringing!?!?)
- While nursing can be done anywhere, it is certainly easier and more comfortable to do it at home! A sampling of our feeding locations.... Starbucks (next to 2 state troopers, no less!), the Jeep (this I can deal with), the grass in front of the hotel (our rooms weren't ready), on the grass up against a retaining wall at the wedding (my attempt to be discreet was lost on the folks walking where they shouldn't be!) and oh yeah... in the Jeep!
