Thankgiving Trip to Walhalla-November 16-19, 2011

Since this was our year to be in Loris for Thanksgiving, and since Cak had to work Thanksgiving day, I decided to make a special trip to Walhalla to visit the week/weekend before Thanksgiving. This was mine and  yours road trip together by ourselves and I have to admit I was a little nervous!  You got up to feed about 6am.  When you finished, I put you in the car seat and we hit the road.  You normally go back to sleep after your early morning feed and I was hoping you'd sleep the whole way in the car....and I WAS RIGHT!  You slept like a champ!  You woke up around Greenville for a second and ventured back off to sleep until we pulled into Great-Gran's driveway!  Great-Gran had invited Cak over for lunch and so we surprised her when we pulled into the drive way!  We spent the whole weekend at Cak's house.  We went to see your PawPaw as well but we spent the night with Cak for this trip.  On Saturday, we had Thanksgiving dinner at Great-Grans with the family.  Everyone just adored holding you and spending time with you!  I decided to leave later on Sunday morning to come home after your second feeding of the morning around 10am.  BAD MISTAKE!  After this feeding you are awake a majority of the time and you definitely didn't want to sleep in your carseat!  I had to pull over twice between Seneca and Easley and get out to console you because you were pitching a fit!  Finally around Greenville, you decided you'd sleep and slept until we were about 30 minutes from home.  We made it home around 5pm.  You were a little cranky that last 30 minutes, but thank goodness you didn't pitch any bad fits because I wasn't going to pull over in the dark by myself.  Daddy was sooo glad to see you when we got home!  He had gone on a trip with school this weekend to the State Soil Judging competition.  His team won 1st in the state!!!  We are so proud of him!  You ate and played for just a little bit and then you were ready to go to bed. 

I hope you continue to be a good traveler because we will be making quite a few road trips together in the future! 

You spit your paci out while sleeping and this is how it landed!
