In Atlanta, we visited Marcie and Chris and their new baby, Marianne, who is seven weeks old. It was fun to catch up with them and see the baby. Alina liked looking at her, but wasn't too sure what else to do.
On Saturday, we drove to Nashville to visit Matt, Jessica and Patrick and see their new house. This was the "adventure" part of our trip. Alina apparently got car sick during the trip and threw up about 4 times. Once in Arbys, then the Arby's bathroom then twice in the car. Traveling alone, pregnant in the first tri-mester with a puking toddler, not that much fun. We made it to Nashville and things improved!
Alina and Patrick had so much fun playing together. It was tempting to let her stay with them, as Matt kept asking, just because she loves playing with Patrick so much. But obvisouly, that wouldn't work out too well for us:)
On Saturday night Matt and Jessica arranged for a babysitter and we went honky-tonkin' in Nashville. Or as much as a pregnant lady can do, luckily there were some non-smoking bars. The music really is good up there and we had a lot of fun!
We even had a "celebrity" sighting. I noticed the person standing next to our table kept getting his picture taken with people, so I took out my camera and took a picture too. Its one of the guys from the bachelor that is now on the bachelor pad, can't remember his name, but here he is.
On Sunday we went to church and then had brunch at a place in downtown Franklin. We walked around a little. Alina and Patrick were so cute holding hands!
We had a great time visiting with friends, but the trip home was a little long. I think it may be a while before I am ambitious enough to travel alone with a toddler for that long!
You are so brave! You are totally ready for 2 children. :) Looks like yall had a wonderful visit.
