On the Road Again

Today we began our journey back to the Arctic. We didn't leave quite as early as we wanted to, which worked out because we got to spend a little time with Laura and Walt before we left and we missed most traffic. The first half of the trip went really fast because Eliza was well-rested and well-fed, but the second half of the trip went pretty slowly.

Taking a break at Burger King

 Eliza started to get very restless and irritable. You can only ask a baby to do so much, and she was letting us know that we had asked that much and more. Michael and I were amazed at how few of places had the indoor play areas like when we were kids. We were able to find a Burger King that had one so that Eliza could crawl around, but they didn't have a heater in there, so we didn't let her play long.

In the above picture, notice the outfit change. A little ways down the road, we started smelling a present that Eliza left us, so we pulled over at a store to change her and realized it required changing everything! Now that she is clean, she is much more pleasant, although the toy probably doesn't think so! Can't wait to be home for a few days.
