Luke's 1st overnight trip

Last weekend, with my family out of town to my cousin's wedding in Chicago, we decided to pack up and head to NWA to visit Chris' parents (aka Grandma and Grandpa).  We left after Luke's 4 am feeding Saturday and got up to NWA after a quick stop in Alma around 930 am or so.  Luke did great on the car ride and really only fussed once, but we stopped and changed his diaper and he was just fine.

I was shocked at how much STUFF was required to travel with Luke.  His stroller, pack and play, our suitcases...wow!!  We joked that we were going to need to invest in a trailer just to travel, but we're seriously worried that might actually be true come Christmas :)

We shopped all.day.long on Saturday.  I was worried Luke was going to be super mad not being able to have a consistent nap (this kiddo likes his schedule), but he was a real trooper until around dinner time when we stopped in at Wal Mart for a few things and he started throwing a fit.  I was shocked that that was really his only meltdown of the day.  Luke was such a trooper all day!

We ate at a few new places, Mexican on Saturday and BBQ on Sunday, and they were both great, although the BBQ was my favorite.  Luke got a few new outfits, courtesy of Grandma and Grandpa, and he loves them!

Luke did wonderfully on his first trip away from home and I know his Grandma and Grandpa adored having him there.  We ran into a few people while we were out shopping, and Jim and Jerl Dean loved showing Luke off.  It was super sweet :)
