Summoned by our good, good friends, we tossed an enormous pile of stuff into the back of our car, loaded up the baby, and headed for the coast last weekend. (Two nights away required the following: Pack N Play (for safe sleeping), Exersaucer (beloved entertainment device), diapers, wipes, a cooler full of bottles, an entire hamper full of blankets/clothes/burp rags/towels, baby monitor, and various rattley, grabby toys. And the carseat. And a suitcase apiece for mama and daddy. Gone are the days of a single overnight bag ...)
Nora was a fantastic little traveler. She stared ponderously out the window for the first hour, and then nodded off to sleep just as we passed the mile that marked the farthest away from home she'd ever been. She slept well, babbled mercilessly at 5:00am (sorry, oh dear child-free friends!), laughed hysterically at the dogs, and was such a trooper when we stuck her in the Bjorn and walked along the very cold, windy beach on our last day. She stared quietly, squinting into the cold wind that made our eyes water, and we wish we knew what she thought of that wide expanse of shimmering, shush-ing sea.
Maybe that trip to Majorca isn't as far off as we thought ...

Yay for warm-up trips! Majorca rocks btw -- and she's just the right age for that kind of travel (sleeps a lot and isn't mobile just yet!) Sounds like the coast was fun!
Thanks, Shetha! But, uhhhh ... "sleeps a lot"? She's been a great sleeper until last week. Now it's Awake Time, All the Time! But you're right, at least she can be confined to a sling pretty easily!

heee I know I know -- she likes to be awake more and more -- but it keeps becoming more and more and more! So I guess it's all relative. It's much harder for a mobile infant to be confined for a long time than an immobile one, that's for sure.
