Family picture in Prague.
Traveling with a baby is possible! This is great news considering we'll be living in Europe for awhile. Penelope will be a world traveler by the age of two!
While my aunt and uncle were visiting, they took us to Prague. What a treat. It was only for the weekend, but that was plenty of time with baby in tow. It was so nice to have the extra help for our first family trip.
Other elements made the trip successful as well. Right as I was about to pack up the car, Devon came home with gifts for baby! The Cooke Family sent her a collapsible tent, and a travel-size lamb. She already has the big lamb for her crib, and she loves it. This travel lamb was going to be perfect for our first vacation. It makes four different sounds: rain, whales, ocean, and stream. We think her favorite is the ocean... These gifts came at just the right time. We were going to take her travel bassinet, but the tent is so much lighter-it can fit into our suitcase! That's a HUGE plus. Thanks to the Cookes!
Look how little Penelope is on this bed!

Check out this sweet tent!
Penelope was such a good little girl! On the 3 hour car ride she slept most of the way, and we only needed to stop once to feed her. While in the city, we all took turns pushing her in the stroller. The streets were crowded, and sometimes it was difficult to maneuver, but we made it work. We were so happy that our stroller has big air tires. Otherwise, it would have been a very bumpy ride for Penelope. The only time she fussed was when she needed to eat or have her diaper changed. This made seeing the sights of Prague quite enjoyable. It's such a beautiful city.

A short break to feed P.
Just one of the many churches in the city.

This trip was great practice for our future endeavors. This November we plan on heading to Berlin, and for Christmas we're heading to Michigan.
Some more pictures for your viewing pleasure...
Good looking people.
Again, a good looking bunch.
Yes, that's beer. Drinking and driving?
Me and P. Exploring Prague's castle.
Locks. When the people marry they put a lock up with their wedding date, then throw the key in the river.
Bound together forever. So sweet.
Gorgeous.
Also, gorgeous.

Baby in her Bjorn. We can't forget the travel lamb!
Haha, I have lots of comments! I love the one pic where there is a map lying on P in the stroller. They Baby Bjorn is AWESOME, right? And I love that the lamb is strapped on. Looks pretty in Prague. How fun. Your diaper bag looks great on the stroller. Such trendy and cool parents! I'm so jealous of your stroller. If I didn't have more self control I would have like 10 strollers. I should try to get a job with Baby Gizmo as a stroller reviewer. Oh, and isn't the tent amazing! Ok-that is all:)
ReplyDeleteHaha! I love your comments. The map is on P bc Devon's hands were full. One hand for the beer, the other to push the stroller! The lamb + Bjorn + Devon is a hilarious combo. I was worried that D would refuse to wear the lamb, but he was a champ. Yes, you are crazy about Baby Gizmo and strollers. Weirdo. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad Lorri made the map comment.....Grand Papa will be proud to see baby P's map skills this young! That tent is awesome---and so glad it made it just in the nick of time! I am sure you know by now that Devon would do anything for his girls....even sport a little lamb in public! You 3 are going to have so many adventures these next couple of years----you will be Pro's! Looking forward to adventures with the Clarks!
ReplyDeleteLynne, so glad you were able to figure out the comment thing. I know a lot of people were having trouble.
ReplyDeleteSo glad the items made it at such an appropriate time! Looks like you had a great trip, and so nice to have family to help out. We adore all the pictures of P!
