Chicago- Day 1

Our journey to Chicago started at 5:45 in the morning. We left this past week and were eagerly anticipating our trip; apps were downloaded, movies were ready, cooler was packed, and snacks were at an arms reach. We woke Abby up at 5:30, changed her diaper, and put her in the car. We thought it would be fun to take a picture every hour of our trip.

Ready to go!

Well, the intentions were there, but after this last picture, things took a turn for the worse.

For the last 3 hours of our trip Abby cried the entire time, refused to nap, and hated reading her books. We got a break for a few minutes when I gave Abby a book of stickers. She would peal them off, stick them on her leg, and then point for more. Once we hit Chicago the traffic was awful. So bad that I actually got our of the car and carried Abby to the hotel- anything to get her to stop crying. By the time we got some dinner, and gave Abby a bath we were all asleep by 8:30. We were exhausted!

After bathing beauty finished her performance in the bathtub we put her to bed where she slept for about 13 hours!
