Mom's Birthday Weekend

We headed to my parent's place last Saturday to celebrate my mom's upcoming birthday (it was this past Monday, February 4th) Dave plays ultimate most Saturdays so we left at Arden's afternoon nap time on Saturday and got down to their place around 5 pm. Arden actually only slept for about an hour of the 2.5 hour drive but she was reasonably well behaved for the remaining part of the drive. She did get kinda bored towards the end, but there is hope of making the longer drive up to Maryland again in the spring hopefully. And Dave and I still have hopes to eventually make an even longer drive up to Pennslyvania to see he's relatives sometime in the next year. Everything revolves around Arden's sleeping schedule. As much as I wanted to be a "laid back" parent, I really do see the need and benefit of keeping her on some sort of schedule for all of our sanity!

Saturday night we had a nice dinner with my parents and watched a movie. Then Sunday we headed to Sunset beach, the southernmost beach in NC.

The weather was unseasonably warm so we were able to walk for a bit and enjoy being on the beach in February! Then we headed home and had a nice birthday dinner with Mom & Dad, complete with chocolate cake of course!
