Visiting the familay in Ioway

Our first visit to Iowa is in the books. Traveling with a baby is so much different than before. We left in the late afternoon so that we would be driving during part of Gideon's nighttime. It paid off, because he slept through the second half of the drive. It reminded me of being in college and leaving after classes. Only this time, I had to get up at 6am when Gideon woke up. Life has definitely changed.

Gideon christened just about everyone with a little spit up...they're officially part of the club now! ;) We visited grandma and Bri at their schools, went to Niabi Zoo (where a petting zoo goat bit my finger!), walked at the Discovery Center, and spent a lot of time playing.

Here are a few of our favorite pictures from the trip (we haven't even uploaded our phone pictures yet, so there are a few missing):

Hanging out with great aunt Alice :)

It's so hard to leave when we are having so much fun, grandma!

We can't wait for our next visit with the family. In the meantime, we are so very grateful for Skype!

Love,

the George family
