Always Wright

So we packed up on Thursday and headed to Blythe. The drive wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Blaise slept the first 4 hours and Rae was pretty angelic in the back seat. It was about 3 hours into the trip till we had to pull out the borrowed DVD player. We stopped for dinner about 130 miles outside of LA. Blaise pooed all over his outfit, and Rae threw about a dozen tantrums in the restaurant. We got back on the road and Rae went to sleep pretty quickly but Blaise kept spitting up and wanting to nurse. We stopped a few times at random exits and luckily Rae stayed asleep while I nursed Blaise. Then I spent the last 2 hours of the trip unbuckled and leaning over my seat trying to keep a pacifier in Blaise's mouth. But it only took us 12 hours! (Left at 1:30 in the afternoon, got to Blythe at 1:15 in the morning) It usually takes us 9 hours when things go perfectly. I was pretty achy from sitting in the cramped front seat, but we are here now and everything is great! The weather is really nice and the plan is for all of us to head out today for some fresh air. My sister, her husband and their 10 month old are coming today - Rae should enjoy that. And I'm going to see a friend that I haven't seen in like 4 years! Yay! Fun stuff - vacations are nice. :)
