The 4 hour one-way car trip seemed daunting with a toddler so I started prepping Rea a couple weeks ahead of our trip. We bought a special movie to take along, packed lots of books and toys, and promised a visit to the candy shop in Columbia if she was good during the car ride.
The candy shop bribe worked because we made the trip with only one teeny tiny meltdown. Toddler success!
We had a fabulous time touring Columbia and nearby town, Fulton. The girls had a blast playing together and Adrian and I were able to get in some much needed catch up time! We enjoyed so much good food and got in lots of laughs being with our girls. All in all, a very successful trip!
And the car ride back must not have deterred my toddler because as soon as we pulled into our drive way she asked, "Mommy, when can we go back to Adrian and Jules' house?"

We're here!

National Churchill Museum:
"Hello? Anybody home?"
Guess not, so let's let mom take a picture.

Where's the toddler?
Jules was such a good sport sharing all her toys with Rea... and dealing with the toddler demands. :)
Thank you to Drew, Adrian and Jules for hosting us for the weekend~ It was definitely fun memories in the making!
And...since Rea did survive the 4 hour car ride home, she had a lot of energy to burn before bed time tonight. Good thing the temps were perfect for being outside. Hello Fall!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
