family vacation in the northwoods

Ahh, our first vacation as a family of four! And we opted for the 6 hour car ride… eek! We were a bit nervous about that part, but the driving actually went really well. We stopped only once each way – to nurse Rebecca and stretch – and the kids did amazingly well.

The middle of May was finals week at school so I was creating and grading exams and submitting scores, etc. That week was also our 3-year wedding anniversary and we went away that weekend, just for a night (without Ryan).

Flying with a toddler

Well, it’s almost that time. Flying with a toddler. I figure lots of people do it and they survive… right?! (Say yes, please!) I’m off work for the summer and have been looking into a family vacation. Steve just started his new job and although he does have vacation time, I don’t know that it’s a good idea he uses
