Our Little Family's Getaway

A few weeks ago, Brett decided that our little family needed a little family getaway. We've taken a few trips this year, but it's not ever been just the four of us. Brett's request was "someplace where the kids can swim." We found this cute little motel in Ocean City, MD with a pirate-themed indoor pool and rooms with kitchenettes- perfect! The less than 4 hour drive was the debut of the kids' new car seats. Brett was working in the car and I was driving. Both kids looked so comfortable in the back that I had to pull over to take their picture. Brady was thrilled- to have a roomy seat, wear his new Diego sunglasses, have Elephant riding along with him...and be able to enjoy the Awesome view. (I was looking for a good place to pull over on the Toll Road and found one with two giant cranes across the street.) Sylvie was happy to be stretched out in her new roomy car seat (Brady's old one) for her AM nap in her jammies (a pair of Brady's old ones)- she doesn't mind the hand-me-downs and enjoyed the day. It was an easy ride there.

We stopped for a potty break and for after-nap snacks. Sylvie had a blast eating Brady's chosen snack- cheese and crackers. It was hilarious. The boys weren't paying attention and she just kept shoveling in as fast as she could. :p
