Vroom Vroom...Baltimore or Bust

We are off and running (more driving then running) heading to Baltimore for our first family road trip. It sure has proved to be quite the adventure. It is hard to figure what is necessity to pack, what you think you might need, and what you will bring and never use, when you have a baby. I feel like I have packed her entire nursery and could always pack more. Ben would have killed me when he was trying to pack the car though.

Olivia helped me pack her suitcase and supervised Daddy packing the car!

Olivia was awesome on our adventure up the coast, we made it to the shore in 14 hours. She slept almost the entire trip all but 2 hours. We pulled up at 6:45am and woke up the whole house. The Shinnick's were so excited to see us and we were thrilled to see all of them and finally be there.

We spent Saturday and Sunday at the shore house and it was a beautiful weekend. The weather was great. Ben spent Sunday at the Raven's/Bronco's game, too bad that the Bronco's didn't win! Of course we had to have Crabs...no visit is complete without them. 

It was a very busy week, we had to fit in a lot of things and visits while we were there. We went to lunch at the Inner Harbor, took Olivia to the National Aquarium, met our cousin Amanda in Hunt Valley, spent Friday in DC, took the girls to the Pumpkin Patch, and went to Old Town Ellicot City. You would think we were there for a month with all the things we managed to fit in.
