We leave on Friday night for our big road trip . . . we are both really excited, but very nervous about how Caleb is going to do in the car for so many hours.
Cameron reminded me of some of our past Christmas adventures the other day -- here are a few highlights:
-taking Amtrak from Sacramento to Nebraska (we both had romanticized ideas of what train travel would be like . . . we were both WAY off!).
-getting stuck overnight in Washington D.C. when our plane to CA was grounded for repairs (guess who had everything they needed for an unexpected stay in their carry-on? guess who didn't even have a toothbrush?!)
-the two-day road trip that turned into three when we got stuck in a blizzard with the Hinckleys . . . getting stuck in a blizzard was actually lots of fun! :)
I am looking forward to . . .
-road-tripping with the Hinckley family and meeting sweet little Caroline for the first time!
-seeing my family's house decorated for Christmas
-eating way too much of my dad's homemade bread (mmm . . .carbs!)
-meeting Lena
-watching the grandparents be thoroughly entertained by Caleb
-observing Caleb 'take in' Christmas -- I'm guessing I will have lots of 'help' unwrapping my gifts!
-Christmas eve service at my family's church
-"real" winter weather and a chance to wear my winter clothes
-beginning to develop some traditions for our little family
-watching Caleb eat his first piece of birthday cake (early celebration)
-trying out the portable DVD player we bought yesterday
Christmas, here we come!
