Wyatt took his first road trip this past weekend. We drove to Greenwood, Delaware for Darrin's uncle J.R.'s wedding and then visited Darrin's sister Crystal in Charlotte, North Carolina on the way home. Wyatt did really well in the car seat (at least most of the time). He got sick of it a few times but for the most part he just kicked back and relaxed.
We really enjoyed spending time with the extended Campbell family and taking in the beautiful fall foliage during the drive. Wyatt especially enjoyed meeting his Aunt Crystal, Uncle Paul, and cousins Charis and Gabby for the first time. Thanks again Petriks for letting us stay with you guys...we had a great time! :o)
We also got to visit with our good friends Travis & Sarah Hostetler who recently moved from Sarasota to Charlotte. We miss them terribly but were glad to get a chance to see them again.
Below is a list of things we learned from traveling with a 7 week-old:
1) Wyatt does not like to sleep in a different place every night (even though he was in the same pack-n-play). He did surprise us by sleeping a 7-hour stretch Sunday evening but he more than made up for it on Monday by pulling an all-nighter. Note to self: pack earplugs for the next road trip.
2) You should never say never. Even though our Mercedes C240 has four doors, it is not a family car. Darrin & I both said that we would never drive a mini-van but we have come to see the error of our thinking and are going to test drive some mini-vans this evening.
3) Infants' regularity gets messed up on trips, too. I will refrain from going into more detail on that one...your imagination can fill in the blanks.

Enough already...we need to see the newest addition to the Campbell fleet of vehicles!! Post a pic please.
ReplyDeleteI think Gabby & Wyatt favor each other. Did anyone else notice that? I think it's the shape of their face. O.K.- I officially sound like our mother! AHHH!! (No offense Mom, in case you're reading this!)
Sorry for the delay...I've been busy cruzin' town in my new pimped out mini van. I promise to post pictures soon. Should I pose in front of the van in my new 'mom' jeans? :o)
ReplyDeleteI do see the Gabby/Wyatt connection. Funny...everyone usually thinks Gabby favors Paul's side of the family instead of the Campbells. BTW, you do sound like Mom...which of course is a good thing. Can you hear the click of those brownie points stacking up??? ;o)
i love wyatts outfit in the wedding pic;)
