Roadtrip: OBX or bust!

Ben's first Fourth of July was a bit anti-climatic as it was spent in the backseat of the Subaru! (although he was dressed in appropriate holiday attire, Mom.) From Birmingham to Chattanooga on Thursday, Maryville, to Asheville and Raliegh on Friday, we finally reached our destination on Saturday of Cape Hattaras, NC to spend the week with Tyler's family.

Once I mastered the art of pumping and giving him a bottle on the go, Ben was a very good sport in the car. Here are a few pics from our travels:

Eating with my feet may not be polite,
but it sure makes it easy to hold my own bottle!

This bed is juuuuust right.

"99 bottles of beer on the wall...everybody!"

It's been a fun week with the family and an interesting week for Ben so far (schedule, schmedule). But that deserves its own post. I will say however that certain events prompted us to try rice cereal yet again. ...Success!

This is great, Mom! Why didn't you try this before?!

I'm definately going to have to try the whole pumping/giving Austin a bottle when we go on our next roadtrip. I think it will make the 15 hours or so to Canada and back go a lot faster! Your just full of great ideas!

Hope you guys have a fun rest of the week!

I can't believe he's actually eating! Of course, I'm not keeping up with the child development calendars, so everything he does is absolutely brilliant to me. And that's just the way it should be. :)

Glad you're having a fun trip! Can't wait to hear more.
