Spring Break Road Trip: Part 1

M.J. and I decided to take the kids on their first road trip for Spring Break to visit friends and family in San Francisco.  Because we chose not to buy a mini-van we were forced to pack light.  We didn’t bring our double stroller or any of our big equipment like excersaucers or bumbo seats.  Our hotel provided us with two cribs, so we didn’t even have to use our pack n play. Still, for a three night trip, this is what we had to bring.

We let Scarlett drive

until her nap time.

Since we left early in the morning we had to take several food breaks on the drive.  Our first stop was IHOP where the twins had their first pancake.

They were very excited about the IHOP flavor sensation,

and I was even more excited that I didn’t have to clean up.

After a horrifying experience attempting to use the IHOP’s changing table, we decided to use our car (that is definitely not a mini van) to change diapers.

Outdoor Lovers

This past weekend we took Dominik and Scarlett to the Angeles National Forest for their first hike and taste of mountain air. It wasn’t a super long hike but it was great to get some outdoor time.

Since we cannot abide the idea of buying a mini-van we’ve taken to changing the babies in the trunk. Don’t worry no one rode in the trunk, although Dominik was enjoying himself looking around in there.

Bye Bye Grams and Gramps.

We are so sad that the grandparents left today.  It was a great visit and such a delight to get to watch them bond with their grandchildren.  Not to mention what a relief it was to have so much help with all those diapers! Luckily, the next set of grandparents will be arriving soon. 

The Truth Hurts

Our set up delivery from Dy-Dee Diaper Service came today. We will be receiving 160 diapers PER WEEK. We are not afraid.
