The Morse Family: First Family "Vacation"

We took our first trip as a family of four! We went to Louisiana to visit family. We didn't go to the beach or anything very "vacation-y" but we did have a nice fairly relaxing time. We learned that travelling with two children under 3 takes quite a bit of luggage! We had 2 carseats, 2 large suitcases, 1 small suitcase, a backpack, a diaper bag and a small backpack for Reece. Our heaviest suitcase weighed in at 48.5 lbs! That would have to be our only complaint, the kids were very well-behaved while we were travelling. We did make sure to get some new toys for Reece to play with and we loaded our tablet computers with Dora the Explorer (Reece's current favorite show) and plenty of kid-friendly apps.

We had beautiful weather every day we were the except for the day we decided to go to the zoo! It was in the 50's and drizzly while we were there, 70's and sunny every other day. We sucked it up for about two hours and then decided to have lunch someplace indoors. Tyler and I had the opportunity to have dinner together, without kids for the first time in quite a while and I had boiled crawfish 3 nights in a row!

Maw Maw had lots of bonding time with Reece and Blake and even Paw Paw enjoyed the babies. We really had a great time and traveling with the kids really does help build your parenting confidence!
