On The Road Again

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello cutie!  Today we had to leave the beach and went back on the road again!  It was a fun little vacation though .... our first vacation as a family!  :-)

We woke to a cloudy and cool morning.  We had to stop in Wilmington to change and feed you.  We went downtown to the waterfront and the Cotton Exchange.  Lessons learned .... we now know that coffee shops don't really cater to families with little babies .... the bathroom had no changing table.  Oops!  You and I made do, but it didn't help that I had to change you twice since you made a poopy diaper while we were feeding you!

I use to live in Wilmington.  In fact, your Uncle James and I were both born here!  We still have family here on Gigi's side.  Once you finished your bottle, we went back on the road towards Raleigh.  :-)

About 30 minutes outside Raleigh we were held up in a traffic jam.  A car was on fire on the side of the road and traffic on the highway was at a stand still!  As soon as the car stopped moving, you started to cry!  Everyone was getting out of their cars since no one was moving.  So, I took you out of the car seat, changed your diaper, and gave you a bottle in the backseat!  We were down to our last few wipes and formula!  Whoa!  We were cutting it close!  As soon as you finished your bottle, the traffic started to move, so I put you back in your seat and I stayed next to you in the back.  

When we got back, Gigi and Grandpa Jim watched you as we met up with your (Great) Uncle Laurence.  He's going to help us in our quest at finding a new house.  :-)

Sleep tight little man!

I love you!  :-)
