Road Trip

Okay, so the North Dallas suburbs really aren't far enough to be considered a road trip, but Q made his first trip longer than an airport run. Airport runs are really one good nap time, so Katharine and I were prepared for this to be quite an adventure. The trip was planned to visit with Katharine's parents, Quin's Grandma MJ and Grandpa Roy, but it also served as a traveling dry run, so that we will be ready to trek to Pennsylvania (via airplane) at the end of July, where we will introduce Q to his 3 great-Grandparents.

We left P-Ville around 10, Wednesday morning, after keeping Q up from his morning nap, which he usually takes somewhere between 9 and 9:30. The little man was asleep by the time we drove past Hutto and didn't wake up until we stopped in Italy, a little past two-thirds of the way. We were very impressed. I was especially surprised that he slept through the 10 minute stop we made without waking up.

The visit was a huge success. Q is much loved by his grandparents and they got to spend some good face time with him.



He got to meet his Grandparents' very good friends, Steve and Mary, who brought him a very interesting toy (interesting because of the way he scrutinizes it).



Plus, we happened to be in the area for Jenni's birthday, and Quin wouldn't want to miss a chance to wish Jenni a happy birthday.



Q adjusted well to sleeping in a different room in his pack 'n play (portable crib) and even napped a little bit some of the time. He used his first disposable diapers (the Huggies Pure and Natural, partially organic not the nice cloth ones he is used to) and didn't seem to mind one bit. All in all, Q turned out to be pretty good at the whole traveling thing, and we are looking forward to our next mini-trip with him. Anyone want some visitors?
