Road trip!

Here I am in New Jersey! Mom didn't post last night because we were on the road until late at night. It was my first road trip! We left yesterday while I was napping. We drove for a while until it was dinner time. Mom and Dad ate Arby's and I had chicken and apples. Then I stayed awake for a while playing with toys and reading Duck by the Sea. Mommy thought I was trying to say duck"! I pointed at duck and talked to him. I waved to truckers and laughed. Then I got sleepy so Mom and Dad stopped at one of the I-80 rest stops for my bedtime routine. They tucked me into my car seat and I slept until we got to the hotel. Daddy set up my packnplay and I snoozed till morning.
In the morning, we woke up and ate breakfast at the hotel. I had cereal and banana chunks. I liked sitting in the dining room waving at people and talking to Mommy and Daddy. Then we got in the car and drove some more. I took my morning nap for a lot of the drive. I woke up for lunch and some playing, and then we got to New Jersey! We went to visit Grandpa andGrandma at their church. See me peeking at Mommy over the porch! It was thundering and raining so we had to go inside.
After a while we went to visit Great Grandpa and Grandma Algera. I had fun crawling around their apartment. Great Grandma gave me a pretty outfit that I can wear this fall! While we were there, the fire alarm went off and everyone had to go outside! I had fun meeting their neighbors. When we walked to the car there were fire trucks and police cars with flashing lights! I waved to the police officers and they waved back. They were leaving so everything must have been all right.
Now I'm at Grandma and Grandpa's house crawling around. It's pretty babyproofed but I'm exploring just in case there is some stuff to get into. But there are four people keeping an eye on me! They won't let me crawl off the porch or get into the bathroom. I try to grab Daddy or Grandpa's beer but they say that isn't for babies.
I think we are going to take a walk to the park after the grownups eat their pizza. I'm having fun in New Jersey!

Sara,

It sounds like you are having a great time. Hanging out with the Grandparents is fun. I am glad that you got to see your new cousin before you left. I will see you when I move back to Holland for good in a couple of weeks.
