So, Michael, Geoff and I set out on Monday, June 22nd at 8:30 pm to Mobile, Alabama. Why so late you might ask, well our son falls asleep as soon as he gets into a car- so we left at nighttime so he would not get off schedule- worked perfectly! He slept the entire way and woke up once we rolled into Mobile around 5:30am- Geoff on the other hand was exhausted, of course, and crashed out for a few hours before heading down to Susan's parents house on the River. We had such a great time! Michael was able to meet his new cousin and our newest nephew, Thomas, and he was able to go swimming for the first time! Grant it, the pool was like a giant bathtub because it was so warm, but he had a great time:)
From Mobile, we ventured on to Atlanta, Georgia for Steve and Lorraine's wedding. This was a 5 hour car ride- Michael did a great job, however, he started to get restless during the last hour, which I could not blame the poor guy:( We arrived at Merrie and Owen's house and spent time with Nana and Pops, Merrie, Owen and the girls- that night was a BBQ to honor the Bride and Groom to be:) It was so much fun and great to see everyone before the Big Day!!! Friday was the Rehersal Dinner of course and Saturday was the Wedding! Everything was perfect and beautiful! Michael was on his best behavior with 2 different babysitters- After the wedding, we stayed at the W Hotel in Atlanta, which was the most wonderful hotel, in the world!!! Then we had brunch on Sunday at the hotel...Such an amazing weekend!!!
After the Brunch, Geoff and I took my parents and Michael to the airport- My parents agreed to take Michael home with them on the plane for this road trip of ours turned out to be a little harder on him than we thought it would be...needless to say, this was a great decision for all of us. I was a complete mess when I had to say good-bye to my little man, but he was fine:) Geoff and I drove back to Dallas on Monday and made it in 11.5 hours! Since it was my birthday and Michael was at Annie and Pop Pop's, we decided to go out and celebrate...Here's to a great weekend and a happy 28 years:) CHEERS!
