Memorial Day 2008

We experienced our first full family vacation this Memorial Day weekend. The whole group, dog included, packed up and headed up to Door County, WI to visit grandpa. It was a perfect weekend, except that Laura and I both were sick and probably had allergies on top of our colds. While not perfect for health, the weather couldn't be better. We had a few days of beautiful sun, and only one night worth of rain - and there was a lot of rain.

Nolan had a great time exploring the house. He and grandpa sure had fun, and grandpa even crawled around the kitchen island with Nolan chasing him - his knees might never recover! Joey walked Nolan around the yard, and he even helped pulling the dead daffodils off the stems. He really likes walking around, and the house is perfect for him crawling - we just have to keep the dog's water bowl out of reach!

While the weekend was short, it was a perfect test for a longer vacation later this summer. Nolan isn't the best traveler, however, Door County is a perfect test ground to get him used to longer trips.
