Michigan Trip May 1-5

We made our first long-distance trip, driving 12 hours to Michigan. We attended David's cousin's wedding and were able to see other friends during the weekend. The traveling went better than I expected. Diana rode with us on the trip up. This made restroom stops easier since we could carry the babies inside leaving one person baby free. We were able to feed the babies in their car seats so we only had to stop every couple hours for diaper changes or for food or fuel.

We took two pack-n-plays, two booster seats for meals, the double stroller and two umbrella strollers, and a few toys. We are very thankful we have a mini van, there was still room to spare! I received some valuable advice to buy a few new toys for the trip to use when I needed them to stay quiet like during the wedding ceremony or church. It was only mildly successful but would probably have been worse without the toys.

It was a pleasure to see Chris and Missy, Debi and Art, Aunt Ivy, the Moore family, and Uncle Don.
