Avery's 1st Road Trip

We had such a fun weekend visiting friends and family in Detroit! Avery did incredibly well on her first road trip - she slept the whole way in the car both to and from Detroit and we only had to stop one time to feed her. 

We had a great day on Friday visiting with Rebecca, Jordan, Hannah and Ella. It was our first time meeting sweet Ella (who could not be a calmer or cuter baby) and it's always wonderful to see all the new things that Hannah is saying and doing.  We got to see Hannah at her swim lesson, walk around Somerset with Rebecca and Ella and play at Rebecca's house where she took some AMAZING photos of Avery and Ella. At one point the girls were on the playmat together holding hands - it was so cute. The mom's were able to go out for dinner on their own to Blue Nile with Linde while the boys watched all the kids and ordered pizza. 

On Saturday, Avery played with Grams, GG, Uncle Mike, Aunt Diana and Cousin Robin while mom went to Ann Arbor to go to the Michigan/Nebraska game. It was my first time away from Avery for more than a few hours but she had a great day with Grams and took her bottles like a champ! I had so much fun at the game with my Dad, Jenny and Jody and it was a dominating Michigan win. I'll admit that when I got back to Royal Oak I could not wait to hold my girl again but it was fun to have a day out. Dad got to get out and golf with Jordan - not sure how many more "golf" weekends are left until it's truly winter so we were happy that he got a few more rounds in this weekend.

We ended the weekend with a brunch at Rebecca's with Grams and Carolyn. It was such a wonderful weekend and so nice of Rebecca and Jordan to host us!! It was nice to see that Avery could really do well on the road (although not so great at sleeping  away from home - she is doing much better tonight in her own bed!) and that we can take trips as a family. We are all a bit tired from the traveling but SO happy that we made the trek to Michigan. We look forward to going back!
