Since last week was his last out on paternity leave, we decided to take Grace on a mini road trip last Thursday. We drove out along the Duvall-Woodinville Road down through Carnation, where we took a baby-feeding break and got ice cream cones for ourselves. We drove on down to North Bend and stopped at the outlet mall there to look at some nursing clothes, and had a second baby-feeding break in the fitting rooms (fortunately, maternity/nursing clothing stores are most encouraging about breastfeeding in their stalls.) Afterwards, we headed out I-90 across the mountain pass and stopped for pizza at a small little town called Roslyn. And more baby-feeding. We also successfully completed our first diaper change on the front seat of the Civic, with no major disasters!
Mom was right though, road trips aren't quite as much fun with a crying baby in the back seat! For the most part she slept, but every so often she'd wake up and cry awhile and we'd sing her back to sleep. Overall, it was a great time though, and refreshing to know it can be done! :-)

Congratulations for getting out! Pretty soon, you'll find many unique diapering spots.
Cool! Fun trip! And, that picture is great. I made it my desktop background.
This is your most encouraging post to date. Glad to see you are already indoctrinating Grace to Aggie lore by wearing Maroon at all times.
