quentin went on his first vacation last week, leaving the bay state for only the second time in his life. it was quite a long car ride and he did not really like the state of new jersey very much, but he took it like a champ. we tried to break down the trip into chunks to make it easier on all of us. tuesday night we drove across the state to my parents' house to drop off the dogs. we spent the night there and made the trek to DC the next day to visit with friends. then we drove down to richmond thursday morning and spent a couple of days there. we drove over to williamsburg on saturday to see family and for Q to meet his cousins sara and jake. then on sunday, we reversed the whole trek. a lot of time in the car!

travelling with a baby is insane. jeremy and i had like 1 bag each. Q had about 6 for clothes, toys, diapers, feeding paraphernalia, etc. not to mention the stroller, the exersaucer, and the pack n play. the poor little jetta was stuffed!

and speaking of the mexican jetta - it wouldn't be a long trip out of state if the check engine light didn't come on. it came on on our way to williamsburg on saturday, along with some really jerky engine function and crappy gas mileage (normally get ~380 a tank, was getting less than 250!) fortunately, once we got up to speed on the highway it seemed fine. apparently my spark plugs weren't firing properly and i needed a new coil (?) - you know, only another $1000 on that damn car.
