Weekend Travelers

This past weekend we went to Mayhill, New Mexico, to visit Greg, Alli, and Bastian. At the last minute, Whitney and Brad decided to come along. I am so glad they did. It was about a 10 hour drive each way (we had to stop a lot for Sam and also for Devin's bladder). We didn't get in until 4 a.m. Friday morning. I didn't sleep on the drive there because I was too stressed out about Devin staying awake. I tried to catch up on sleep at Greg and Alli's, but Sam would not let me! I basically spent the whole time there trying to catch up on sleep. Long story short, I got about 5 hours of sleep from Thursday night to Saturday morning. I was a very boring and grumpy guest, but Greg, Alli, and Rob were cordial just the same.

Alli made amazing food. She made us all want to be healthier- Whitney is even planning on trying to "go raw" for a while and see how she feels. Whitney loved learning about Alli's cooking wisdom. It was pretty cool to see my side of the family bond with Devin's side of the family.

I didn't take ANY pictures while we were there. That is NOT like me. I'm telling you- I am just not a happy girl when I'm sleep deprived. I did get some pictures on the road, though.


This was on the way there. It is always funny when you try to take a picture of yourself and you totally cut everyone's heads off.Whitney and Sam really bonded on this trip. It gave Whitney an even bigger case of baby fever than she already had. Get ready for some begging, Brad.

The irresistable King girls.

Here is a scary looking picture of Sam. He did so good in the car and barely cried at all. I wish he would have done that at Greg and Alli's. Oh well!

Wow! What a fast trip with such a long drive. You guys are brave to do that with a baby :) I'm impressed. That's awesome Sam did great though. Sorry to hear about you not sleeping. It's hard for me to sleep when Merritt drives too... but I've gotten better about it and sleep now. I think it's scarier when you're driving at night, though.
Go take a nap!

When we go to the cabin, I want to be the official Sam-Holder so you can take naps!!

I love that photo of you and Whitney too!!
