Frequent Driver Miles

I'm really hoping that Little B is open to some road trips once he/she get settled in his/her new world. Perhaps all the driving we do now will make the little one a eager traveller. Perhaps I'm also dreaming. A girl can hope, though, right?!?!

Here's why I'd like Little B to be a willing (ok, I'll settle for "willing" instead of "eager") travel companion. We frequently drive out of town to see friends and family on the weekend. By frequent, I mean like two weekends a month. And, we love it. Its not like we're driving cross country, but this is a common part of our weekly plans. We'll head to Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, Maryland often. Boomer has become quite the avid traveller, so our fingers are crossed that Little B will also enjoy the wide open road....that leads us to seeing people we really care about.

This past weekend we were in Columbus...not only for the Memorial, but to hang out with family and see some friends. 2 of our 3 siblings live there, so that makes it a frequent destination. We also got to see 2 of our really good pals from college and help them celebrate their son's 1st birthday. Its amazing how much kids grow in a year. I was in awe of this little guy (and it was great to see his mom & dad too). There's something very special about college friends-- you spend so much time together that catching up is a breeze and spending timr together means so much. Thats why I hope the Little B will like I-71, and I-70 & the turpike. I can't wait to have expanded gatherings with Little B, our friends & family, and their kids.
