Celebration Get Away

To celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and Lillian's 6 month unbirthday we escaped to McMenamin's Edgefield for a night. Staying at McMenamin's hotels for special occasions was our tradition before we had Lillian so of course we wanted to take her along!

She was an amazing little traveler. From the moment we took her out of the car (yes Edgefield is less than a mile away and we have walked there with her before, but this time we had too much gear to walk) she was thrilled. She was constantly giggling, smiling and squealing with glee.


Here she is in the front pack, she thought it was a daddy operated jumparoo, she kicked her legs constantly. It was a really nice day so we walked all over the hotel grounds.

Again in the front pack with one of her really big smiles most likely followed by a giggle and squeal. Honestly she was this happy almost the whole time so it is a perfect picture to describe how much she enjoyed the trip.

Besides being a nice family getaway it was the start of a weekend with many "first things" for Lillian. One of those first things was sitting in a high chair for the first time.


What a big girl!!

Her first reaction to the high chair was to lean over and give the table a thorough taste test before we had a chance to get all of her toys lined up to distract her from the temptingly tasty table.

More of Lillian's "first things" will be posted on the blog this week... stay tuned!
