Trip to Huntsville

Checking out the backyard
Eating lunch in Athens
Scottie and Mary Elizabeth at Ann and Jim's house



On Mary Elizabeth's 5 month birthday LuLu and I took her on a road trip to see Scottie in Huntsville. We left around 7:30 in the morning and I really thought Mary Elizabeth would sleep on the trip since it was her usual nap time, but she stayed awake for most of the trip. She was a good traveler, talking to her elephant and monkey and singing, then napping when she needed a break. We stopped in Cullman to fuel up the car and get breakfast at McDonald's. Mary Elizabeth enjoyed getting out of the baby bucket and stretching for a few minutes. We picked Scottie up at Ann and Jim's house in Athens. We enjoyed getting to see their beautiful home on the river. It was also the first time Ann, Jim and Patrick had gotten to meet Mary Elizabeth in person. After a quick visit we headed to Huntsville to see Scottie and Phillip's house that is undergoing renovations. Scottie has made some great choices in flooring and colors. The house will look terrific when it is complete. After touring the house it was back to Athens for lunch at a cute Mexican restaurant for some great food. Mary Elizabeth enjoyed the outdoor breeze and took a quick nap. We took Scottie back to Ann and Jim's then hit the road to try and get LuLu to Vestavia for a hair appointment. Mary ELizabeth finally decided to take a real nap and slept most of the way home. When we dropped LuLu at Joe's office Mary Elizabeth and I went in to visit with everyone at Joe's office. We finally made it home around 4:45. Mary Elizabeth had a hard time going to sleep last night, but that is typical after she has had a busy day. She was still asleep by 9pm though!
