Our First Road Trip

Well Patootie and I journeyed with my mom to Virginia Beach, VA for the weekend. It was her first road trip, and yeah, she slept for most of it both ways. The only problem was we left a little later Friday than intended and what should be a three and half hour drive, turned into six and a half! Of course I think Mom and I were more affected by it than Noelle, although she does get frustrated in her carseat after too long. That is the joy of living where we live...the traffic.

We went to visit my mom's friend, her husband, and their two dogs. We didn't actually go to the beach, but we did go out to eat at this small local seafood restaurant. The food was delicious too! Mind you that my Patootie slept most of this weekend...like she does anyway. We also went to Target, for no reason other than everyone loves Tar-jay! Oh wait, I needed diapers! LOL! I ended up spending over $150! I got a new sheet set (chocolate) and a down feather matress topper, which was the best sleep ever last night, might I add. It felt so good! We also went to look at a new condo development that my mom's friend works for and I'm seriously considering relocating, but that'll be discussed in a few more months in another post. Saturday evening, we watched Semi-Pro and the Best of Will Ferrell from SNL. He's a funny guy!

We came home yesterday and that only took four and a half hours...mom and I took the wrong beltway exit, so it added about 20 minutes to our trip. Overall, it was a nice, relaxing weekend. Nothing too exciting and my baby is so good. She didn't fuss in the car or in the house. I think she'll do fine on our trip to Georgia for Labor day.

And of course, here's a picture of patootie in her cute All-American outfit.

Ciao!
