First "Mini" Road Trip

We have had a really busy schedule the last few days. On Friday, Will and I decided to take Harper and Lilly on a ride. It was quite the experience.  For the longest time, we both wondered how Lilly would act with someone taking up her space, since Lilly gets to have the entire backseat all to herself on any road trip.

She is a diva when it comes to this. She does not like to be cramped up in any space or share it with anyone. For instance, in October we took my father-in-law's lab Grace and Lilly to Myrtle Beach. The entire trip Lilly cried and had her face on the consol looking at Will and I. She was pretty much saying with her eyes "Why did we invite Grace to go to the beach with us? She is cramping my style!"

So, we knew with Harper now taking up a portion of the backseat that there may be problems with Lilly.

so we had to improvise with blankets.

However, Lilly did much better than either of us expected. At first, she was a little annoyed but then got adjusted. By the end of the ride she actually had her head on the carseat looking at Harper. It will be interesting when we travel to places far away.

This weekend my parents decided to come for another visit and to bring my grandmother. It was really special to see my "Grandma Wanda" with our daughter. Growing up , I was always close to my grandma. My parents would often travel and my Grandma Wanda would be the one to stay with me and my brothers. She was always a cool grandma who was fun to hangout and talk with. Needless to say, I was really excited to have her here and share this experience with us.

Will and I also went on another "date night." It was really nice to just get away from the house for a few hours. We went to my favorite local restaurant, Carlos. They had my favorite appetizer as a special  Fried Lobster Bites. It really hit the spot!

This is the Before photo not After :)

Tonight we are traveling to Southern Virginia to see my father-in-law, Tom. This is a new milestone for our family since it is going to be the first night that Harper is away from home. I will let you know how that goes :)
