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.

Echo echo echo...

We welcomed a new pet to our home: Echo, a lovely red Betta. The name is all Spence, though he did pose a few other suggestions. Spence: I'm going to name it Bluey. Me: the fish is red. Spence: then I'll name it Reddy. Me: Let's stick with Echo. That's a cool name.

Sunday Afternoon in the Park

Could be a well known play, but in this case, it's the new Yankee Stadium. I picked up tickets Thursday afternoon for today's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is the first game we've been to at the new stadium. The new stadium is very nice - much more in line with other new stadiums. There is a lot more space in the walkways - more food options - and much better bathrooms! The latter being most important to me right now. Our tickets were in left field in the upper deck. All in all, decent seats - but the sun made them a bit unbearable. The game started off slow - I mean slow. The first two innings took almost 2 hours. We were roasting in the sun! Eventually, we decided to walk around to check out the rest of the stadium and get out of the sun. The game got much better after we starting moving. Eventually, we ended up on the first level watching the game from the walkway. The pregnancy bump paid off, because one of the ushers in this area let us sit down in the shade
