Our first road trip (outside of visiting family) was to DC in early November. Matt had a work conference there and since I was still on leave, we decided to tag along with him. We left on a Wednesday and headed to Lexington, Virginia, where we visited with friends and spent the night. Thursday we headed to DC for the conference where we stayed in another hotel room through Saturday night. On Sunday, we traveled a few miles down the road to Mount Vernon for Nathaniel's first history lesson. Where better to start his history lessons than George Washington's home? Nathaniel was such a great trooper during our time at Mount Vernon. We finally made it back home on Tuesday. I don't think we will be signing up for another 7 day trip anytime soon!! We were so ready to be home and to relax in our living room after "living" in hotel rooms for so many days. When we left on Wednesday, our car was so full of stuff! I felt like we took a sampling of everything we owned with us for the trip. I think we made it home with everything too, which is surprising after all the unpacking we did.
Ready to roll! Mount Vernon
Nathaniel is up to 9 lbs 13 oz now!! He really fills out the carseat much better now.
