Asher's first road trip

This weekend was Asher's very first road trip! It sounds more exciting than it really was actually. We drove about an hour outside of town to visit Greg's aunt and uncles home for a mini family reunion with Greg's dad's side of the family.

Asher did really well in the car, although we totally weren't sure what to expect because sometimes being in the car for him is like being in a torture chamber! I sat next to him in the back seat the whole way there and back just in case mass panic ensued, which I'm glad to report, it didn't really. Asher slept on and off for most of the drive, and in between he was pretty quiet and just checked things out.
Here he is chillaxin' while his Gramma hung out in the front seat.

We also got to meet some pretty cool people, including Asher's GREAT grandfather!


So Greg and I are hoping that this road trip is a sign of things to come for our upcoming 5 HOUR drive (which will probably be a 10 hour drive with stops to nurse and stretch) to visit my family at the end of the month!
