Road Trip!!

8.20

{{Get ready for a VERY photo heavy blog!! lol}}

We just got back from a 9 day vacation with my parents.. It was so much fun! Sofia's very first road trip/vacation! We drove from Miami to Valle Crucis, NC. It was a long trip and I was concerned with how Sofie was going to handle it, but she really was a little road warrior! She did amazing!!!

We left Miami on Saturday at 11 am and drove all the way to Atlanta, GA. It's an 11 hour drive, but since we had to stop to feed and change Sofia, and potty breaks for ourselves, we made it in 13 hours. Saturday was a very long day! Sofie slept through most of it though.. She would eat, nap for about 2 hours, play happily for about 30 to 45 minutes and then she would start whining and wanted out. We tried to schedule our bathroom and dining breaks around Sofie so we wouldn't lose too much time, and I think it worked out pretty well..

The night before we left.. 

Posting from the road..

So we started our journey on Saturday morning at 11.30 am and it feels like its been a week already! Lol

We drove 11+ hours on Saturday to make it to Atlanta and then Sunday morning we went to the Georgia Aquarium! Sofie loved it and I'll do a longer post later with lots of pics and videos..

After the Aquarium we drove another 5 hours to my family's in Greensboro NC and got to spend the day with them today.. Now we are heading to our cabin in mountains! Hopefully we will be there in about an hour..

Here are the pictures of is crossing the state lines and one of my favorite ones of the Aquarium!!

Lots and lots of Play-dates!

Sofie is one busy little lady! Her social calendar is busier than mine! lol thankfully mine is pretty empty so we can keep up with all of her engagements! =)

Dawn is her little BFF and they have been spending lots and lots of time together.  Dawn's mommy, Jackie, and I know each other from years back.  Her brothers and my brother were in the same boy scout troop, and actually one of her brothers was in pre-k with my brother! So its easy to say our families have been friends for quite a while.. Jackie and I were honorary boy scouts.. they called us Jack and Ben =)

Anyway.. Dawn and Sofie get along really well.  Dawn is about 6 or 7 months older and than Sofie, but I think Sofia thinks they are the same age. We have taken them to the beach, Cool-de-Sac (which is a great place!) and Gymboree for play dates! Dawn tries to help Sofie stand up while they are playing and she is always really gentle with her.  I love watching them play together!
