Vacation

Last week, we went on vacation. A real family vacation, complete with a car drive and a hotelroom to sleep in. It may not sound like that big of a deal, but it was the first time we tried it, so...

I made a "survival bag" for the car ride, just in case. You know, lots of books, cd's, those marker thingies that only mark on certain paper, and of course, candy. After all, I was counting on having to keep Natalie happy in her carseat for at least an hour or two...

To keep it all organized, I used a computer bag. It was really quite perfect, with lots of little pockets to keep it all organized. But Karsten thought it was pretty funny, especially with the lollipops neatly lined up in the penholders:

Computer bag turned Mommy-bag!

Well, turns out we didn't really need all the entertaiment. Natalie had a great time just talking and looking out the window, and sleeping some of the way, too.

And yes, we had great vacation - but that's a story for another post...
