Our first road trip as a family of four was a success!!! We made a quick trip down south to LA to celebrate our friends, Dan & Carla's, wedding. I'm not sure we were exactly nervous taking a 10-week-old and 3-year-old on a six-hour drive, we just didn't know what to expect.
To our surprise, it was a great drive... both coming and going. TJ was a champ. He played and entertained himself much of the time he wasn't asleep. He did talk the whole time he was awake, but there was no fussing. We passed the time singing "Life is a Highway," "Pirate Flag," and Kenny's new "Coconuts Song" (as TJ calls it.) We also chased down all the Mack trucks like we were Lightning McQueen. Baby Frankie was a gem. He slept 90% of the trip... waking up 4 hours in so he could eat. It was awesome!
When we got there, we weren't there for long. It was a very quick trip, but we managed to pack in a lot of fun and playtime for the boys. (The big Frankie, too) :) While Daddy and Uncle Justin went to the wedding, Mommy and the boys stayed with Auntie Ann and Baby William at their new home. It was a great bonding time for all of us.
The next day, it was time for play. Joiey & Craig were kind enough to open up their home to all the families for fun in the pool and backyard. TJ LOVED playing Superheroes with River and Sammy, and it was so wonderful to meet everyone's new additions. Let's just say -- the babies have taken over!!!
After a long fun day, it was off to Nana's house for some quality visiting before heading to visit Auntie Linda & more playtime at Uncle Joey's & Aunt Tara's home in Sierra Madre. TJ had a blast playing with his cousins, and we were lucky to visit with a lot of Daddy's family so they could meet Baby Frankie. We were all sad to leave, but we know we'll see everyone again soon.
Now, our jet-setting family is off to Colorado. TJ can't wait to get there to stay with Grandma & Grandpa, and play with his besties!
