LB= trooper. Gone are
the days of stopping every hour to take a break. Hello to the days of traveling w/ Portable
DVD players and an infinite supply of food (Goldfish and Fried Fruit mostly)
and beverage (M-I-L-K). Bottom Line-
1000 miles in 2 days, with 3 total breaks, one of which was the hotel /sleeping
quarters in Covington, LA. Side note- Homewood
suites by Hilton- very functional for families. Anyways- while we can celebrate the ease of
planning trips without the consideration of a school calendar, any benefit claims
would be offset by the added payload of packing for a toddler. Holy cow.
Is that my trunk? I thought I
only packed a backpack. Really? Really.
As for the vacation…Everything previously mentioned about
Rosemary 2011 still applies today.
Leighton still loves the water and the added attention. The weather did not factor into the vacation
at all…Except when we committed our most significant parenting error to date
(adult sun block lotion should not be applied to a baby face. Babies rub their face and eyes- it’s
inevitable. And lotion stings)
For me, the true pleasure was seeing LB relate/play with
other kids, specifically Anna and Riley.
Todd/Megs- thanks for renting us your little girls for the entire
vacation. Don’t know it would have been
as enjoyable without seeing a perfectly stacked JENGA board terrorized by a 20
month old every day.
