I was pretty worried about traveling alone for 5 hours with a 5 month old. I was totally amazed at how well Samuel did, though! We left right at nap time, so he slept for the first hour and a half. He had about 20 fussy minutes around lunch time and again around his early afternoon feeding time, but all in all, he was a champ! (I also figured out that, since he gets distracted REALLY easily, I could roll down his window and he would just stare in awe for at least 3 minutes before he remembered he was angry. Nice).
We had lots of fun just hanging out (Samuel got to see his little girlfriend, Clara, again, though I'm pretty sure he was equally entertained by her older sister) and visiting fun places like the outlet mall in Williamsburg and (of course) the beach!
Okay, we were only at the beach for like 30 minutes, but it felt like a lot longer.. haha. Samuel didn't really know what to think of the water. When I put his feet in the sand and let the waves crash on him, he just started shaking... I think he was pretty freaked out. He never cried, but just had this blank stare most of the time we were there.
We also set our towels, etc. up on an incline, so Samuel was able to sit for, well, pretty much the whole time we were there! Turns out sitting's a lot easier when you practically can't fall backwards!
We also got to go visit our other friends, the Cohens, one afternoon. It was super nice to get away for a little while and to visit with (awesome!) adults. I miss our med school friends (except the ones that are still here -- we love that you're still around!!)!
We were glad to come home and see Eric, though. Trips just aren't the same without him!
