Baby Margot had her first official road trip. We drove up to Queensbury for the long weekend to see my family and make the most of some much needed time away. There was something wonderful about bringing our girl to my childhood home to meet her cousins and family friends for the first time. It was a weekend we'll never forget.
We roused our sugar plum at about 6:15am, fed her, packed the car and were on the road by about 7:15am. As you can see here, Margot's excitement was palpable.
We felt like the Canvas Bag Brigade as we loaded things into the car. Thanks to the Canavans, Margot has her very own LLBean tote!
In anticipation of the many idle hours in the car, packing some snacks seemed like a good idea. Plus, I always like having an excuse to make banana bread! Using my grandmother's extra-large bread tin, I threw this together on Friday while Margot slept.
I used pecans from Tucker's mom's backyard (thanks Sassy!) , a little greek yogurt, some oil, a combination of mashed and chopped banans, plus chocolate chips and more pecans on top, as well as all the other standard ingredients. I may have found a winner!
In the end, Margot was a great little traveler. I don't know if it's her age/stage or her sweet disposition that made it easy, but we had no major crying fits, no issues with feeding, and instead, a whole lot of smiles and sleeping!
Margot's wondering "are we there yet?"
