Day 1 of Our Trip

Well, we have finally made it home safe and sound! I am going to post something of each day. That is the only way that I can remember what happened since there were so many things going on. We left Friday evening around 6:00p.m. to head on to Dothan. Lillian slept in that morning and I didn't let her take a nap during the day so that she would sleep on the way down. We had been on the interstate for only ten minutes and she was out like a light. We stopped to eat a little after you pass Alabaster so that she could have a very long nap. Then we headed the rest of the way. I didn't make reservations before we left because I didn't think that would be necessary. Wrong!!! Bama Jam was going on that weekend and all the hotels were full. After checking three different hotels, we finally found one that had rooms available. It had just opened up for the first time in May so it was really nice. Sorry I didn't think to take any pictures because we were trying to get Lillian to go back to sleep. She didn't settle back down until 2:00a.m.!!!! Here are some before pics prior to leaving. We tried out some earphones so that we wouldn't have to listen to Barney all the way there. She loved them at the start but on the second day she almost bit the cord in half. Plus she was stretching them and then they wouldn't stay on her head. So needless to say we had to listen to Barney.


As you can tell Lillian needs to be wearing a hairbow at all times! Her hair is growing so fast that it keeps getting in her eyes but I do not want to cut her any bangs.
