Back from the Bookdocks

No, this isn't my photo, but I had a similar idea and I wish it was. Yesterday Charlie and I traveled through the altamont pass to visit my mom in the boondocks and I packed my camera with the idea that I would take some photos of these beautiful green energy masterpieces on my way but I ran into a few issues:
a) lack of places to pull over to get a great shot - less willing to go to the side of the freeway and take risks with your baby in the car
b) traveling alone 
c) Charlie was asleep through the pass on the way there AND back - don't disturb baby sleep on road trips stupid. I did pull over ever so briefly on the way there (on a real exit) but as soon as Charlie started to murmur I hit the freeway again (and he was out)

We had a great time visiting my mom and Bill and wish the drive wasn't so long so we could see each other more frequently. Gotta love staying in the guest house with your own coffee maker and a quiet place for babenakins to sleep.

I really missed my hubbie - gross I know! Can't help but be in love with this man...definitely over a decade now and don't want to spend one night apart :-)

Trip to Nona's

Charlie's first tennis shoes - thanks for saving them for us Nona! We had to put our comfy sweats on after the drive home!

Harley the cat who loves to sleep on the couch...woken up momentarily by Charlie's crying!

Charlie and I made another road trip yesterday and today and we had to stop in both directions but otherwise he was pretty sleepy for the whole 2 hours each way. Traveling with an infant really bites but I'm lucky that Charlie does well in the car for the most part.  Seeing Charlie with family gives me so much joy but it makes leaving very difficult. Still working on a tear-free departure!
