As some of you know, Cora and I went on a road trip this past weekend. We drove down to Alexandria, VA and back to visit April, Matt, Lucinda, and Malcolm. Holy crap, those kiddos are so cute, they make my ovaries ache. Cora and I had a great time visiting. And I have to brag a little - apart from a few minor, completely normal moments of preschool sassiness, Cora was just amazing! Imagine 8 straight hours in a car with a nearly 4 year old that won't sleep. Sounds like an inner circle of hell, right? Wrong! She was awesome. Which makes me feel like maybe I'm a little bit awesome, because that kind of awesomeness has to come from somewhere, right?
Anyway, here she is ready to hit the road on Thursday with a special treat.
Does this kid look like she's ready to sleep? While sharing a hotel room for three nights, I discovered that she sings in her sleep. Needless to say, I didn't get a lot of sleep, but it certainly made me smile.
She's ready to see those babies!!!
Cora insisted that she wear the robe that was in the room (the Westin Alexandria is awesome, by the by) and then pose for pictures.
She loved Old Town Alexandria. She kept saying, "this is such a beautiful place!" I even took her to our old neighborhood in Rockville. We got out of the car and she yelled out, "there's no snow here!!!" Exactly, babe. Exactly.
Cora also loves the wind in her hair. Even when we're traveling 75 on the interstate. She also likes the wind in her toes...
After a whirlwind weekend, we got back home on Sunday. I must say, I am not a bit nervous about taking another road trip in the future. We're planning on visiting family in Indiana in June and I can't wait.
