Traveling to Florida

As we packed our car and trailer a little over a week ago, we felt like packrats, but traveling with a 3 month old who will cross the 6 month mark while we are gone seemed like a daunting task to pack lightly for....oh and of course, we have that dog too!
I swear that I only packed 1/3 of my closet and Andrew only brought half of his so where did we get all of this stuff?  :)  It's amazing how easy it is to fill a trailer when you have the space!
At any rate, we made the trip and it was quite successful considering we had a 3 month old baby and an 8 month old puppy.  We made the trip in 3.5 days and really only stopped twice each day for Weston.  He did great and even let me entertain him from his carseat each day!  KJ did great as well--she got her energy out at our 2nd and 4th night stops!  Thank you Kirks and Senechals for providing entertainment for our dog! :)  We went from Vegas to Albuquerque, to Wichita Falls, Texas, to Jackson, Mississippi and then spent a night in Niceville, Florida before arriving at our rental house in St. Joe Beach on Sunday. It was definitely a longer trip time wise than Andrew and I would have done sans Weston, but it was a great way to do it!  Let's hope that the route back in a few months goes as smoothly!
Here are some photos from our packing and adventure:

Here's Andrew fitting it all in the trailer.  To be fair, we did leave quite a bit of space for the dog in the back--sort of!  :)

KJ a little early on the car sitting--this was about 8 hours before we took off; she was just making sure we remembered her!

Our stop in Wichita Falls meant that Weston made new friends!  Here's Emma playing with Weston.  Sort of funny that I remember Emma when she was just a little bigger than Weston!  Where does the time go?

Remember what I said about the kids wearing KJ out?  Well, they also wore out my husband!  

What's wrong with a baby AND a cute puppy curled up on a bed at the Jackson, MS Hilton?  Nothing!  

This was a pretty special detour for me in Mobile, Alabama. This is a picture of Weston and I in front of my first Christmas tree that my parents planted in front of the house that I was born in. I guess I am glad that I haven't grown as tall and wide as the tree, but pretty impressive to see how we have both grown!  :)
