Somewhere in the chaos, we neglected to post the 13th-week/3-month picture of Safia. That is the picture above. My sincerest apologies for my failure to keep things up-to-date.
Yesterday, we all went downtown to the National Gallery to infuse some culture into our visit. Safia had been clamoring all week to see the Chester Dale Collection: From Impressionism to Modernism exhibit, so we finally relented, and went to check it out. She slept for about three-hours in her stroller as we navigated the exhibit to let all the magnificence marinate fully. It was a great trip downtown, and we arrived back at home relatively unscathed.
Safia commiserates with Jude
So we are fully preparing for our return journey back to Athens. 600 miles. 10 hours by car. We would like to get it done in one trip (rather than breaking it up into multiple days), but we are new to this type of journey with a baby, and are, therefore, open to the idea of laying over for a night if things get crazy. We realize that our travel time will be greatly increased due to the necessary and regular stops for feeding, changing, and comforting, so we'll see how it goes. If you have any advice or tips for long road trips with an infant, we are open and appreciative. Luckily, there is no hard-and-fast date or time we need to be back in Athens by, so we do have the luxury of relative flexibility.
Just be sure you're back by Sunday night!
ReplyDeleteTim, I'm sitting next to you right now. I'm glad we made it back for your visit. Thank you for playing with Safia.
