One more trip!

Last weekend we made another trip (we are squeezing in as much as we can before football season starts). This time we went to Dallas to visit Allison & Brian. We were a little worried about how Ainslee would handle the 5 hour car trip, since she usually doesn't do well being over 2 hours in the car. I had heard from several friends that traveling after bedtime worked well, since the baby would normally be asleep during that time anyway. Well, Jason & I are both HORRIBLE night time drivers, and by night, I mean anything after about 9 pm. So, we decided to pack up and leave around 4 am, since Ainslee normally sleeps until 8 am we thought she would go back to sleep and sleep almost the whole trip. Well, it worked! We had zero traffic and sleeping baby, a wonderful combination. We got to Dallas completely exhausted ourselves, but rested until Allison & Brian got home from work. We went for a swim in their pool and then went to a wonderful Italian restaurant near their house for dinner. Saturday we went to downtown Plano and antique shopped. Allison and I continued a favorite summer tradition of snow cones and more swimming. That night we grilled with a few friends and Ainslee got to play with another little baby a couple of months older than her. She had a blast trying to keep up with him. Sunday morning we awoke to a fussy baby and realized she had gotten one of her top teeth. We went to lunch at a cute little bakery and then headed to Austin to visit Lauren & Trevor. We spent the night with them and hung out at their apartment the next day. It was a whirlwind trip, but we had a great time seeing great friends.

She loves her Auntie Lo (that's what the bib says)
