Somebody Hold Me
On Friday, we make our annual trip to Pittsburgh to spend the week with the hubster’s grandparents. I look forward to this trip every year.
But this year, I am terrified.
Why you ask?
We will be traveling the 4 hour drive with an almost 7 week old. Sure he looks all calm in the picture but the minute we get in the car, forget it. Screaming ensues.
Then there’s the packing. There’s just too much shit to pack. There I said it. I mean look at the state of my trunk currently.
I hate that trunk. The damn box for the GPS makes it impossible to get anything large in there. We already gave up trying to bring the double stroller {we’re packing the Snap ‘n Go
and the Piggy Back Rider}. The behemoth takes up the entire trunk so that leaves no where to put anything else. I am second guessing not bringing it but what can we do. I wouldn’t be able to get anything else in that trunk.

We need a bigger car {but that’s not going to happen before Friday}.
Ok, so maybe I’m not terrified about the vacation. I am terrified about the ride out {and ride home}. Once we are there, everything will be fine.
We have a ton of fun things planned for us to do…
- Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh ~ E’s favorite!
- Carnegie Science Center
- Duquesne Incline
- Phipps Conservatory & Botanical Gardens ~ I am going to try and get some pictures of E and B.
- And of course, the zoo!
The hubster and I will also be having some date nights and seeing the nightlife {casino anyone?}.
While we are visiting the hot spots in Pittsburgh, I will be posting my reviews over on Blog with Love. Make sure you follow over there and on Twitter for the “Burgh with Love” special!
Good luck! We are making a 5 hour (pre-kids 5 hour that is) trip with a 3 year old and 5 month old this weekend. Not too sure how that is going to work out…
I love road trips but they can get to me too! Good luck and have fun!
The photo of the little one is so adorable. He looks like he means business! We started packing things on the roof and traveling become so much easier!
Ooh, good luck! We did a 13 hour trip with our three month old twins and toddler and then turned around and did what was SUPPOSED to be a 19 hour trip with just the twins that turned into a 30 hour adventure. I swear I'm stronger for it! Have fun and breathe!
Good luck! Packing is such a hassle. My parents live near Pittsburgh- enjoy for me!
