1st Vacation

About 1 mon. after Lilly was born we were lucky enough to get a few weeks off to head home to PA and NJ to introduce her to family and friends. The 9 hour trip to Pa went better than I think either of us expected. Lilly slept, we would stop about every 3 hours to take a break and so I could nurse her then back in the car we would go. We were in Pa for a week, and were able to have picnics with both the Carr and Keath families. It was wonderful! We also got to see some friends. Lilly also got to meet the heard of dogs living with my parents now. My sister Katie is back home now, which makes the total number of dogs 4, with a new one to come late fall.


We then drove to NJ, normally a 3 hour drive, but seeing as how we had it planned to make it there before Lilly needed to nurse again the drive turned into a 6 hour drive. Construction on I-78 (as always). So while sitting in the traffic, I climbed out of my seat and pulled Lilly out of hers to nurse her in the traffic, which worked out well. Once we got there we had a fabulous time see all of our family and friends. We were there just a few days and decided to make the trip to MI to see Tom's mom's side of the family, with a stop at Niagara Falls. It was a long trip but worth it once we got to MI and were able to see everyone and enjoy the lake his aunt and uncle live on.
