Road Tripin-The Gordons Visit Maryland

We have been back from our Family Road Trip to Maryland for about 2 weeks now but I am just now getting caught up. It was such a wonderful, but quick trip. A big thank you to my sister and brother-in-law Hope and Ron for being such a great hosts and letting us take over their house for the long weekend. Bill and I always love our visits to Maryland but it is even better having Spencer with us! Spencer got to visit with so many special people. Baba, Aunt Hope and Uncle Ron, Aunt Caren, Uncle Max, Cousins Natalie and Ethan, Alyson, Joel, Jason, and Alex and lots of friends too.



Another first for the Gordons! This was our first family road trip and to my surprise it was not bad at all! Spencer was a trooper and I think took advantage of the long car ride to catch up on his sleep :-) We felt bad that he was in his car seat for such long stretches, but it was the most cost effective way to travel this year.



On our trip up, we got a late start so we ended up staying in Durham overnight. We hit the road early the next morning to finish the trip and were in Baltimore before we new it. Coming home was the opposite. We decided to get an early start and travel straight through. Again, not as bad as we thought and we made lots of stops so Spencer could eat and play. We even caught some pics of fun street signs on our travels. My photography skills were not so good going 70+mph but if you look close you may be able to catch some of them :-)

Originally we had panned to travel this particular weekend so that we could all run the Army Ten Miler Race that we do EVERY year but plans changed this year and as most of us were on injured reserved :-) With the race off the schedule, we had more time to visit with family and friends and take advantage of short time in Maryland. Can't wait to plan our next visit!
