Our Little Angel: Mother's Day May 2009

Trying to catch up….

Mother’s Day weekend we took a road trip 4hrs north to Mackinac Island. It was a nice relaxing getaway. Reagan was perfect in the car ride; she slept most of the way. We stopped a few times for feeding and diaper changing.

Mackinac Island is located between Michigan’s Lower and Upper Peninsula. It’s an island with horse and buggy and lots of historical building and fort. We took the ferry over to the island and spent all day walking around and touring the island. We spent most of the day touring Fort Mackinac and walking the trails hidden in the forest. The weather was almost perfect, just a little cool but again we are in Michigan so the weather is forever changing. This beginning our first trip with a baby, I did forget a few things but we managed. First, I did not pack enough diapers and wipes so we had to buy some at a little store on the island. Of course, the price was like 3x more but what can you do. Also, I am noticing more and more that restaurants do not have a changing table in there bathrooms (I guess babies are not a lot in there restaurant???). It’s so gross having to change your baby either holding her or putting her on the floor on the changing mat. Besides the bathroom situation we ate lunch and dinner on the island and had a great family day!!! The ferry ride back was very very bumpy I thought I was going to get sick but lucky it was only like 20mins (felt like 60mins.) I think Reagan had fun and she was a great baby!!

I received the sweetest card and diamond earrings from Stephen and Reagan. It was the best first mother’s day!!! Looking for to many many more……..
