Road Trip

This weekend we took our first family road trip.  We went to Portland to watch and cheer daddy on at a soccer tournament.  Carmen was a good little traveler and slept almost the entire car ride both directions.  She also enjoyed sleeping in the big bed at the hotel and riding for the first time in her jogging stroller for which we discovered she is a wee bit small.  She ended up staring at the tray because she couldn't see over it.  The weekend flew by as daddy played in 6 soccer games.  Thankfully the weather cooperated and was rain-free which allowed Carmen and I to attend all of the games.  Based on the busy schedule, there was no tax-free shopping for me, which is probably a good thing as there was no room in the car to haul back any purchases.  All and all it was a successful weekend, as daddy and his team won the tournament in their division and we were able to spend it together as a family.

What would a road trip be without stopping at some tourist attractions!?

Carmen as a puppy dog.
She also was building her immune system as she decided she
wanted to lick the yucky, germ-filled wood!

Hmmm...I'm not so sure about this 'big girl' stroller.

Happy girl before bed time.

I survived watching 6 soccer games! Phew...!
