Home Sweet Home

Yesterday we spent 10 hours driving home from North Carolina.

It definitely wasn't the first time we made the trip,

but it was the first time my hubs and I hit the road,

along with our tiny, 2 dogs, and our luggage attached to the roof.

 This is how we spent half the trip. 

Baby Einstein is her recent addiction,

and although I can say I'm not a huge proponent of TV,

anything goes on a 10 hour car ride.

She protested sleep for most of the way...

 and fell asleep just as we pulled into town.

Home never felt so sweet.

Away We Go

These past two days have been a whirlwind. 

We spent nearly all day packing for our very first road trip. 

We are North Carolina Bound...to Yaya's house we go.

We = my mother (yaya), Lucia, myself, and two dogs. 

Poor Papa is staying behind until Saturday.

I knew it was going to be a task packing for the clan,

but I didn't anticipate just how time consuming it would be.

I mean, really how many clothes can a 4 1/2 month old need?

Three to be exact. 

Three bags, bursting at the seams.

 In went the bags,

In went the Bumbo,

because no trip is complete without this miracle baby product

and away we go.

The Little Manatee

 This weekend we anxiously set out on our first family vacation to Homosassa Springs, FL. 

It's a tradition that was started when I was 2 and it seems unreal that we have added one more member to this annual weekend getaway.

There was lots of dancing

 A manatee boat ride

and even some front porch rocking. 

We can't wait to do it again next year with our little manatee

Cheers from Homosassa. Can you find the newest member to the group?
