Travel and teeth

We took our first long road trip last month. We drove to Rhode Island to visit Jason's family. It took us 15 hours to get there. We set out at 7:45pm and drove overnight. We stopped a few times to rest since neither of us slept the day we left. Each time we stopped the car, Dominick would wake up and want to eat or play. One time, I was resting with my seat reclined into the back and woke up to someone digging at my scalp and pulling my hair. Hmmmm...

We stayed at Jason's parent's house from Friday-Monday. During our stay, Dominick had his first swim ever and LOVED it. His Aunt bought him some swim diapers, swim trunks, and a floaty. We spent some time with more family. One night, we rented a limo and celebrated Jason's 30th birthday early by going to a casino nightclub with some friends. It was so much fun.

I seriously love those little cankles!



On our way home, we stopped at a friend's house to visit. She has cute kids and cute puppies. Her daughter is only 4 days older than Dominick. They got along splendidly chewing on each others toys. 




I LOVE this picture. He looks so dopey.


Katy was absolutely in love with Jason. She sat in his lap for quite a while.

Sweet angel face


While driving through Pennsylvania, we stopped at the Flight 93 Memorial. They are almost done building the permanent memorial, which will be beautiful.

The white wall represents the path of flight 93 ending in the crash site.

We had a great vacation. It was nice spending time together as a family and Dominick did great in the car. On the way home, I was waiting for Jason to get out of the bathroom at a rest stop and felt a tooth on Dominick's lower gum. Finally! It only took 8 1/2 months. A great end to a wonderful vacation.
