Our First Big Adventure...

With TWO Kids!!

Back at the beginning of the summer (pre Luke) we decided we wanted to go to the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence. We went a few years ago and Matthew really loved it. Since I didn't want to walk around a zoo 9 months prego we figured we would wait until after the baby...thought it would be a nice get away.

In the days leading up to our departure on Saturday I couldn't help but wonder what I had gotten us into! Did we really think we could take a 2 hour drive, visit a zoo, eat out and stay overnight in a hotel with a 2 and a half week old?? We must be crazy??!! But, since Matthew had been looking forward to it all summer we didn't change our plans.

So we got up bright and early Saturday morning to head out...2 hours later we were in the car and ready to go!! Figured with a turn around time like that we were doomed but I was pleasantly surprised! Luke slept the whole way in the car. Woke up when we got there, ate and slept through the entire zoo in the stroller. Matthew had a blast at the zoo. We headed to the hotel in the mid afternoon, both boys napped then we went out to eat and even had time for a swim before bed. This morning we had breakfast at the hotel, went for another swim and came home (not a peep out of Luke the whole way).

I'm glad I didn't change our plans. It was a great first trip for this family of four:)
