Road Trip

This is where Caleb woke up this morning: in his bassinet, nice and happy. He was in a really good mood today and made it hard for Dad to leave for work. Today is Dad's birthday, so Caleb and Mom came to have lunch with me today.

After work, we packed up the car and headed to Naples, Florida for a conference for Dad. Caleb did not have a very fun time in the car. He cried himself to sleep as we left Miami, but he then woke up somewhere in the middle of the Everglades and would not cry himself back to sleep again. Mom pulled over in a campground to feed Caleb. After having a little snack, we pulled back onto the highway and Caleb cried himself back to sleep as we continued on into Naples. We wearily ate dinner at a nearly empty Carrabba's that was about to close. Our waitress was enamored with Caleb and would not let us eat in peace, but she was nice enough. Of course, she may have just been bored since we were by far the last people to leave. We are finally at the hotel and Caleb is sleeping in a hotel crib. It's a little roomier than his bassinet.

We are planning on leaving early enough Sunday morning to be back in Miami for church. At the rate we went tonight, we need to leave some time Saturday afternoon to make it back in time.
