Spring Break 2008

Madison's first cross country road trip! We left a day early to avoid the March blizzard in Milwaukee (they were predicting 10-15 inches on Saturday). We made a last minute decision to leave Thursday night after bath time instead of Friday morning. So we bundled Maddie up in her jammies and blanket and headed west. Our goal was to get south and west of the storm... and then play it by ear. Jim and Jamie weren't expecting us until Saturday for dinner.... instead we arrived Friday for lunch! We drove straight through and Madison slept the whole time! There were quick little stops for a diaper change, breakfast, or a break in the 60' Colorado sun!



Madison discovered grass today! She would pick up one piece at a time and examined it (until dad showed her how to pull up a whole bunch and throw it in the air). By the end of our break, Madison had thatched about 9 square feet!

We all caught up on sleep when we arrived about 2pm.... showered.... cooked stakes on the grill... and slept like logs. It was off to Boulder today to hippie watch and shop!
