We Survived the Road Trip!

I guess that title says it all... We actually had a really great time and are happy to say that the trip was a total success. Oscar slept most of the way there and back, and despite our expectations for a really long car trip it only took the amount of time that Google Maps said it would (appx. 12 hrs). The little guy only got fussy in the car seat when he was hungry or wet, and otherwise was great. He spent a good hour or two crying that first evening when we got to the hotel, I'm guessing from just being sick of traveling, but then he slept fabulously that night and the rest of the nights we were there.

We introduced Oscar to the other wedding guests at a luncheon at my friend Logan's parent's plantation (AMAZING property, gorgeous house and grounds, and also the location for the wedding). Everyone absolutely loved him and were all gushing about how good he was being and how adorable he was. For the rest of the weekend whenever we ran into any other guests they'd ask 'where's Oscar?!'

We also attended the rehearsal dinner at the Ware River Yacht Club (delicious buffet dinner under a beautiful tent next to the club), got to hang out with my grad school friends before the wedding, and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful ceremony and tented reception on the plantation lawn. My mom had a good time riding her bike all over the place during the days, hung out by the hotel pool, and babysat Oscar Fri. and Sat. nights. She said he did really well, and we were super grateful that she was willing to come down with us to watch him. Overall we enjoyed our time together and are happy that Oscar appears to be a great traveler :)

Now Joey's off to another interview--this one at Dartmouth--so it's just the little man and I. Molly and Mom are coming over for the nights he's gone (I'm so lucky to have them here!), and we're all looking forward to Joey being done with these interviews. Below you'll see a couple of photos from our trip: Oscar in his carseat on the way down, babyville (aka our hotel room), and Oscar and mommy hanging out before leaving for the luncheon.
