Road trip continued: day 2 & 3….
Okay, so I really am trying my best to post these blogs during this vacation but, it is kind of hard. I feel like I need to hire Miss Plan It All to do some things for me right now. The only time I have is when both the boys are asleep for the night. During the day I am too busy doing things with them. So, here it goes: Day 2 woke up at the Miller’s home, boys slept through the night for the most part. I am so proud of my toddler for staying in his bed all night being in a different environment and all. We had breakfast with our friends and the kids, my husband took our toddler to their community park so that he could play before having to get in the car for another five-hour road trip (with stops in between of course), while I packed and got the baby ready to go. By 11:30 a.m. we were all Kentucky bound. Ready to see our friends and their kids.
We arrived in Louisville, KY at around 6 p.m, checked in at our hotel and headed out to a restaurant to meet our friends for a little while. My toddler gets shy around people he has not seen or met and now during this trip he handles his shyness by putting his entire hand in his mouth and gags himself. Oh, it is great when in public and people stare like what is that little boy choking on. My husband and I know better so we really don’t pay much attention. Anyway, that is just a side note for those parents who go through similar things with their toddlers. We make it back to the hotel, get the kids in bed and much to our surprise they sleep through the night. Ahhhh… this is the best vacation ever so far.
Day 3: We are up and at em.. ready to go the Louisville Zoo with our friends and all the kids. Had a fantastic day at the Zoo. I must say my baby is awesome. He was so good all day at the zoo. Took his naps in the stroller and was just as happy as can be. He is such a laid back and happy baby, we feel so lucky. We let our toddler play in the Wet play ground at the Zoo with the other kids. Of course I bring his swim diapers and swim gear, but don’t pack anything for myself or my husband. So, we take turns chasing him around the pools and fountains and slides, so that neither one of us would be completely soaked. So, I decide to help out our toddler get on one of the slides and I got completely soaked by a giant pail of water that they seemed to pour down on me as my son went down the slide. Ahhhh… it actually felt good since it was about 100 degrees outside. After the zoo we made it back to the hotel got ready again and headed to our friends house for a cookout. It is so nice to be at a house that is already child proofed. Since they have a 16 month old boy who is everywhere, their house is equiped to handle kids. This ended day three of our trip, back to the hotel, for another good night sleep.
Tomorrow, we are Indiana bound… stay tuned!
