(upstate) New York, New York!

Brynley, Rob, and I took a trip to upstate NY from 8/13-8/17 to visit my Aunt Sue, Uncle Bill, Grandma, and cousins. After renting our minivan, we loaded it with baby gear and made the 8 hour drive to Utica.

We had a fun weekend with family, food, swimming, relaxing, and catching up. Brynley did so well at swimming this time....she stayed in there for quite awhile and didn't fuss. My cousins were laughing because Brynley was even kicking her feet as if she were trying to swim.

Bryn seemed to have fun too and loved being surrounded by little kids and new adults wanting to hold her and love on her. She did not like going to sleep in her pack and play, however. Bedtime was tougher than normal, but fortunately she readjusted quickly once we got home.
