*Thursday- Drove to Madison to drop off Finley and pick up J's pack-n-play, out to dinner with my dad, hung out at dad's store for a bit
*Friday- After B got home we drove to B's parents' house to spend the night
*Saturday- All 5 of us in the car- and we weren't even that squished! Drove to Eau Claire, visited B's grandma- she's 96 and recognized B's dad and almost recognized B-she gave J a kiss goodbye, so special! Out to lunch at Mogie's (a favorite of my buds who went to UWEC? I think I remember?) Picture in front of the house where we met! Visited Great Aunt Jean, J fell and hit his mouth on the corner of her coffee table, lots of blood and ice cream later, he was fine! Drove to Minneapolis to see good buddy L and her house (LOVE the kitchen remodel!) Also wanted to steal her dining room table... J falls again and hits his chin on her coffee table- no blood but some tears (Oh the dangers of learning to walk!)Out to dinner with L- my dinner gets dropped on the floor by the waitress = free dessert for L since we're at a hotel with no way to heat the hot fudge sauce! Spent the night at the Hilton in downtown Minneapolis (I LOVE hotels!!!) J slept through the night... loved playing in the hotel room!
*Sunday- drove to Hudson, WI for brunch with B's family... uncles, aunts and 2 cousins... J devoured pancakes, drove back to B's parents' house... and finally home!
We had a WONDERFUL weekend, so glad we got to see Great Grandma Mac, and Aunt Jean, and my buddy L, and the family in Hudson... it was a great time!
As for how J did on the trip... can you say PERFECT ANGEL?? 4 hours in the car- no fussing, ate well, slept well, had a great time. And the best part? No bottles, no formula, no food prep at all- he ate with us, drank milk at the restaurants, and was like a real person! So easy!
And now the pics...and a video!
Random pic--Valentine's Day flowers from B... purple tulips! My favorite! And a yummy candle.
Playing peek-a-boo before we leave for Madison
Hard at work at the table Grammy set up for J with his own mail to go through!

I love the pictures! I can still remember that party where you met like yesterday. did you have spud o plenty at Mogies?
we had the cheese curds- very good! i wanted to ring the bell and ask if we could go into the basement to recreate the moment! Of course we'd have needed 50 drunk people, a keg, and remember that guy in the tight jeans????
