Lucy and I have officially made our first trip without Jason. I'm sure there will be many more to come, but the first one is always a bit of an adventure. We haven't gone too far - we are in Charlotte hanging out for a few days while Jason fills the house with toxic fumes while re-finishing our bathtub. The trip usually takes about 3 1/2 hours...or 4 if there's any traffic at all. It took Lucy and I 4 hours and 45 minutes, which isn't too horrible. It was a little adventurous.
- Lucy started out like a champ, sleeping the first hour and a half!
- I had to figure out how to use a public restroom that had no place to put a baby (since we are no longer using the removable car seat)
- We drove through a rainstorm that had me using the windshield wipers on high and driving 40 mph...and still BARELY being able to see the lines on the road right in front of me
- Lucy decided during just about the only 20-30 mile stretch of NO WHERE to stop that she was done being in the car and started to fuss, then cry, then scream until we finally saw a McDonalds to stop at
- After all that exertion, Lucy went to sleep about 20 minutes after leaving McDonalds and slept the rest of the way!
We made it! Fun with friends to follow =) ....and in a few days, the trip back!
