Travelling with an infant leads to a whole new level of travel. The entire definition of travel is different. Between diapers, burp cloths, bottles, pack n play, etc you would think we were moving across the country or something. The idea of "packing light" no longer exists (though I'm sure Chris would say packing light was never a concept for me). Having said that, Avery herself is a fantastic little traveler. She pretty much slept in the car the whole time or was able to entertain herself by chatting or batting at a toy. My family really enjoyed meeting her. We are so blessed to have the rare occurrence of 5 generations; not only once but twice! Both are on my mother's side; one is my grandmother's father and the other is my grandfather's mother. Both of my great-grandparents were able to hold Avery and were so thrilled to spend some time with her. It was a very special trip. Travelling with a 7 week old is not easy but it was totally worth it. Though Avery will not be able to remember her visit, I know I will and I will cherish it forever.
