This past weekend, Jason and I packed up the kids and a whole lot of luggage and headed down "south," to visit friends in Maryland. Our roadtrip began Friday at 5:30 pm (yes, we chose to sit in rush hour traffic) and we arrived at our first destination just outside of Baltimore (our friends Karrie & Michael's house) around 10:15 pm. Thankfully, both kids fell asleep in the car and transferred nicely. That was the first night that Abby slept on an air mattress and she did great, other than waking up at 2 am confused about where she was!
Saturday morning we hung out with Karrie & Michael's kids at their place and then packed up everyone yet again and drove to Rockville, Maryland. Our plan was to surprise birthday girl Lauren at brunch, which went perfectly as we saw the look on her face of pure shock when she walked into the restaurant and saw us there. After enjoying some birthday cupcakes we brought down from Magnolia Bakery in NYC, we sent the husbands off with 6 kids (ages 4.5 months - 4.5 years)so that Karrie, Lauren and I could enjoy some girl time with massages. The kids also had a great time at the town fair, getting balloon animals, their faces painted and playing in a bounce house.
Saturday night was adults night out at Rosa Mexicano in National Harbor. We had a great night of perfect weather and with no children, we all were able to engage in real adult conversation for a change!
Our trip ended Sunday morning when we left early so that Lauren & Dan could get their house ready for an open house and attend a few birthday parties. Zach took his usual 30-45-minute naps throughout the day so the poor guy was exhausted at night. But all in all, it was a fun and action-packed weekend that we all enjoyed!
Next up - a mommy/son trip to Chicago next weekend (and Zach's first flight) which will be a lot of fun assuming Mommy can get through the airport and plane ride in one piece. Abby and Daddy will enjoy their time together as well, and Jason and I will be sure to compare notes about who is easier - the 5-month old or the 3-year old!
