West Side

Dave, Ajax, and I had our first road trip.  We headed out Saturday morning to the west side of Michigan to visit friends.  It was about a 2 – 2.5 hr drive to Allegan where we visited with friends, Heather and Jeff and their 2 daughters.  We had a great time hanging out and seeing their new one who is almost a month younger than Ajax.   Their older daughter took quite a liking to Dave; I think I have competition!    We left Allegan around 7ish and got a hotel room closer to Grand Rapids.  This was our first time in a hotel with the nino.  We were very worried, but he did great.  We set up his pack n play and he slept great all night.  He even let us sleep in till 7 am.  On Sunday we decided to drive out to Grand Valley’s campus before heading to another friends house.  Grand Valley is where Dave and I met; we were amazed at how much the campus had changed it is expanding like crazy and there were parts that honestly when I was there were only woods and now there’s these new dorms.  After checking out campus we headed to visit Heather and Andy and their 2 children (Heather actually introduced Dave and I in college.  Thank you again!).  We hung out at their house, had a great dinner, all around good times, and then headed home around 5.  The drive home was a little rough, due to traffic, but we made it home safe and sound and are feeling pretty proud at the moment.
