Southern Comfort Part 1: Not Quite in the South

The first part of road trip has been great. We started out Thursday morning - making our drop dead time to get out the door. A baby makes that process much longer!

Our first stop was Mt. Joy, PA. One of Jack's Great Grandmothers (Jenn's paternal Grandmother) live there. The ride went well. Along the way, we introduced Jack to Chick-fil-a. Life will never be the same. :)

The visit in Mt. Joy was great. Grandma Lyn and Jay were ecstatic to meet Jack. I've included some pictures below.

We unfortunately couldn't stay too long as we had booked a hotel in Virginia for the night. Even more unfortunate, we didn't realize that our GPS system had a setting to avoid toll roads. Our little tour through Harrisburg added 30 minutes we would have loved to have back! Along the way, Jack did celebrate crossing the Mason-Dixon Line - he felt his Southern roots growing. :)

Our overnight stop was in Harrisonburg, Va - home of James Madison University. We arrived around 9 pm which felt like 3 am. Jack slept great (6.5 hours straight!!!).

Friday, we finished our final leg to Greensboro. The drive down I-81 and US 220 takes you through the mountains of Virginia. It is a much prettier route than I-95 and I-85. Much prettier. We made it to Greensboro mid-afternoon - again, couldn't be happier to be off the road!

More to come in Part 2.

Spencer Time

A few recent pictures of Spencer. He is growing like crazy and picking up all sorts of new skills like grabbing toys on the playmat, grabbing blankets or clothes and shoving them in his mouth, and his new favorite pastime, putting his feet in his mouth (with or without socks!).     Learning all the tricks on his first flight. We lucked out and got an extra seat for his carseat (ok, I lucked out, but still...)  Sleepy times with Grandma    Enjoying a new toy!   Such a big boy

Called up

This weekend, the t-ball team was short a few players. Spencer was called up from the practice team to fill in. He was one of the smallest on the field, but played well, even teaming up with Jack for an out!

3 Perfect Innings

Jack pitched for the Bluebirds today. He started and pitched three full innings. He faced 9 batters and got 9 outs. Not a bad start.
