Our First Family "Vacation"

Though we have travelled to see family with Audrey, Labor Day weekend was our first Walker Family vacation with the three of us. We went to Blackberry Farm in Tennessee for three days and had a great time. We learned a few things about travel with Audrey:

1. Audrey is an angel baby as long as she gets her naps. When her schedule is disrupted and she does not get her 3+ naps each day, she definitely loses some of her angelic qualities.

2. There is not much to do in a one-room cottage while your infant is napping a few feet away.

3. The day after 4-month vaccinations is not the best time to take a baby on vacation.

4. Audrey's new "chattiness" makes it much harder to dine out in public as she LOVES to talk...loudly. (I cannot imagine where she gets that?)

We also learned that travel is more fun in most ways with Audrey. She loved the new scenery, riding in her golf cart with the wind in her hair (or lack thereof), meeting new admirers and her first horse and carriage ride (see the picture below of her mobile diaper change in the carriage). We had a wonderful time and will be even more prepared next time we travel. Live and learn!
