Lake Erie, OH...here we come! (part one)

Last week, Justin, Katie and I all headed to Lake Erie OH to vacation with my family! It is a 13 hour drive with a one year old and all told it was a good trip. :) We started off at 2 am on Wednesday morning, hopeing that Katie would go back to sleep once we hit the road...no so with our little peanut. She pretty much stayed away with a short snooze until 8:30 am! WE WERE AMAZED. We know that she is on the shorter side of the sleep schedule (compared to other little ones like her friend Catie Beth) but this was amazing! We stopped at Crackle Barrol in Charleston WVA on both sides of the trip. Katie loved all the toys and rocking chairs. She is a pro at rocking herself! I also took a variety of new toys from the Dollar store to keep her occupied. Though they didn't last long, it was a welcomed break from her constant talking loudly. :) The third photo is a view of OH. The bottom picture is her trying to blow up the new beach ball!
