We’ve discovered that Macy is an awesome traveler so far. We left Thursday at 6pm to drive 9 hours to Orange Beach, AL to see my mom’s side of the family. Macy slept the entire way! She woke up twice to eat and a diaper change and then fell asleep again in no time. Doug and I probably looked like deer in headlights at our first stop when we realized that we had no clue how to get everything accomplished that we needed to in that stop. We got a little system worked out though that seemed to do the trick.
Our time in Orange Beach was a lot of fun. Everyone loved seeing Macy for the first time. It was nice to relax and be with family again. It was really hot, so Macy never actually went to the beach, but we did get some pictures of her in her adorable sun hat with the beach in the background. 🙂
Doug and I got to go on our first “date” since she was born while we were there. Mom and Stephanie kept Macy while Doug and I enjoyed a delicious seafood lunch. We both missed her while we were out but it was nice just to focus on each other again for a little while.
We left the beach Sunday morning and came to Brandon so Macy could meet her great grandparents and my friends. Luckily she was pretty good while we were at my grandparents house, so they got to see her sweet smiles and coos. By the time we got home she was ready to go to bed, so she wasn’t as hospitable to the girls, but hopefully she’ll make up for it next time. 🙂
Doug and I decided that it would be nice for my grandparents to get to see Macy a little more, so my wonderful husband left his 2 girls in Mississippi when he headed back to South Carolina this morning. We were very sad to see him go, but we’re blessed that he has so much work that he needs to get back to and that he’s so selfless to let us stay and spend some more time with our family. Mom is going to take us home on Friday and then stay for the weekend (she just can’t get enough of SC these days 🙂
So, that’s been our trip in a nutshell so far. I’ll get pictures up as soon as I can, but I’m still not really good at that technical side of this website…I’m working on it though. 🙂
