The Way Life Should Be

Walden got to spend her two month birthday in Maine!  Which means she also went on her first road trip.  Which means that we went on our first road trip with two dogs and a baby which is about as simple as it sounds.  I spent about three weeks preparing for this trip, agonizing over questions like, should we take the swing and the bouncy?  Or just the swing?  Or just the bouncy?  (Answer: just the bouncy.)  How many times will she poop while we're away?  (Answer: not that many. Walden has travel anxiety just like...some other people in the family do.)  Do we really need to pack the dogs' special hypoallergenic food or can we get away with non-special non-hypoallergenic food for a week?  (Answer: no we cannot get away with non-special food.  Jake makes that very clear and we couldn't deal with him making that clear for an entire week.)  So we packed up our bouncies and diapers and special food and set out at 9 p.m. thinking that Walden would sleep the entire 5.5 hour trip.  Except she didn't.  So the trip was more like 7 hours, but who's counting?  Good times were had, lobsters were eaten and Walden got her first whiff of ocean breeze.
