Big Adventure
Michaela took her first road trip today, across the biiiig Bay Bridge to the eastern shore to visit Nana’s/Nicole’s cousin Terri, her husband Frank, and the 14 VERY cute lab puppies they currently have. Michaela was a great traveler, sleeping the entire ride down and back. Bella settled right back into her first home, although she wasn’t as interested in playing with the puppies as Brian and Nicole were (Nicole feels lucky to have escaped without bringing one home). The trip was made all the more exciting by the fact that Michaela’s umbilical cord fell off while she was there – we’re guessing it’s not a moment that’s usually shared by extended family! Terri and Frank gave us a tour of their soon-to-be-opened dog/cat kennel (Maryland Shore Pet Resort), which is beautiful, and Bella inspected every room and picked out her luxury suite (complete with beach mural) for when she goes to stay. Finally, we can officially report that the minivan works wonderfully with a baby and a dog!
