We decided to leave Friday after work from Scott's parents house. It would be easier for Gabe to sleep most of the way with us leaving later. It mostly worked. Gabe and I hung out in the back seat playing and then sleeping.
He slept all the way until Springfield, then he was ready for a break. We stopped at our regular spot, Steak 'N Shake. It was delicious, maybe even delectable. After, food and a diaper change we were back on the road and at Jeni's house by 9:30, not bad timing. Gabe got his second wind after a long nap and was able to play a little with his cousins when we arrived.
On Saturday, Scott and Mason ran a Zombie 5K, that was 2 hours away from Highland Park. So Gabe and I hung took our time getting ready, playing and morning napping. We even went for a walk around the neighborhood.
Gabe has his fist glance of Lake Michigan. We all took off for an afternoon of soccer and car rides. Gabe was a trooper with being dragged so many places, but he did it all with a smile, at least until the final leg of the drive home.
On Sunday we went to Pinstripes for brunch and a little bocce ball. The food was amazing! Gabe enjoyed watching the balls go up and down the court. He even got in on a little action.
It was a great trip up, can't wait to see everyone again at Thanksgiving. Gabe was asleep within minutes of us leaving.
