Road Trip!

Bubeaner went on his first ever road trip!  Mom and Bubeaner left at 5am this morning to Austin for a one-day visit with Uncle Ivan and Sarah.  He slept for most of the way down except for a quick stretch at the Czech Stop.  

Uncle Ivan and Bubeaner spent the morning playing and talking.  Bubeaner had plenty to complain about... apparently.  Uncle Ivan was able to get a good recording of him talking.

Goofing around with Uncle Ivan

The papasan makes a great make-shift crib.
Bubeaner napped while we talked.

After Bubeaner took a short nap, we then met Sarah for lunch.  Bubeaner wasted no time cuddling with Sarah.  The visit was short lived as Uncle Ivan and Sarah headed back to work and we headed back home.  He did demand a mid-trip feeding break, but the Bubeaner slept for a good portion of the trip.  He did cry for the last 45 minutes of the trip.  But it's understandable; Mom was fed up of being in the car too.

This is probably the first of many more trips on our own.  There were a few lessons we learned: (1) Take plenty of bibs.  Bubeaner went through 2 outfits and 4 bibs!  For some reason, his reflux was acting up.  (2) Take a change of outfit for Mom also.  We had 2 complete outfits for Bubeaner, but none for Mom.  He managed to get throw up on Mom's pants AND blouse.  In fact, he also "got" Sarah AND uncle Ivan.

Saying goodbye... for now.

We look forward to future trips to visit all our family and friends and maybe a tailgate or two.

Yeah, I've learned at this point to make sure and have some extra clothes of some sort for everyone in the car. You just have to take your son into the store wearing armor once to learn that lesson.

Okay, I am certain that the caption above the picture of him sleeping is supposed to say "make-shift" ha ha ha!!!!! We HAVE to get together soon!
