It all started with Krispy Kreme...kind of...

Christopher had an adventure this weekend - his first taste of Daddy and Mommy's crazy spontaneity. Friday night, we were at our friends' home (Dave and Lizbeth) for supper. Afterward, we decided to watch a movie. To make it more fun, someone suggested that whatever the first food was in the movie, we go out and get it to eat. Well, it was doughnuts...so we hopped in the car and drove to...















...where Andy ended up getting us a dozen doughnuts for free. On the way there, we were all laughing and joking around when I suggested that we should just get the doughnuts and keep driving on a road trip. Instead of planning where to go, we would just drive for x-amount of time or exits and then turn right, drive x-amount of more exits and turn left, etc. until we were too tired and then we'd get a hotel. Much to my surprise, everyone else thought it sounded like a fun idea and AGREED to ACTUALLY DO IT. Of course, we do have a baby and Dave and Lizbeth have a dog, so we had to stop back by our houses to pick up the dog and Christopher's medicine, and we allowed ourselves the pleasure of packing our toothbrushes - but nothing else. Then, at 10 pm at night, we hopped back in the car and decided to head east. Four hours later, we found ourselves in Charleston, WV!!!!! We stayed in this "luxurious hotel" at a reduced rate after the hotel front desk worker gave into our pleas for a cheaper room and made Dave an employee so he could get a discount.















Christopher was a trooper and slept through it all. He awoke briefly when we unloaded at the hotel, but after eating went right back to sleep until morning. He's amazing!















In the morning, we drove by the capitol building to take a few pictures and then headed home, arriving back in Lexington around 4 pm. We had a lot of fun.






















Our first family picture on a spontaneous, crazy, unknown destination road trip. We had so much fun.






















Gramma and Papa Tones and Uncle Tony came to visit Christopher on Sat. afternoon - Sun. morning. We all went out to celebrate Mom and Tony's 10th wedding anniversary. The food was delicious at Three Suns, as always!


This evening, Great-Aunt Dorcas, Great - Uncle Dan, and cousins Becca, Mark and Noah all stopped by to see Christopher on their way back from FL. Christopher loved them and laughed a lot at Aunt Dorcas. He's laughed 4-5 times today, so maybe he'll start laughing a little more often now instead of once every few days/weeks.















Merry Monday, Everyone! Have a great week.
