With the twins approaching 3 months of age, we decided it was time to take them on a trip to North Carolina to visit Meghan's parents, sister and family. The twins had grown so much since Meghan's family had seen them last, so we were looking forward to the vacation to North Carolina. But first, there was the minor issue of the 14 hour drive from Boston to Southern Pines, NC! We decided to try an overnight trip, and left on Friday at 11 pm....after 4 hours in the car, Jason was still driving and feeling a little sleepy...luckily he had brought along a Red Bull and was able to find the AC DC channel on XM...nothing like a little "Hells Bells" and "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" to give a driver an extra shot of adrenaline! Overall, the twins were perfect travelers and we didn't need to stop until 7 am to feed them. They slept 90% of the trip and we arrived in Southern Pines at around 1 pm the next day, only having to stop TWICE for the twins! Our traveling circus of two babies and two puppies was comical at rest areas, but overall it was an uneventful trip.
During our stay in North Carolina, Jason has played lots of golf (or at least TRIED to play golf), everyone has gotten more sleep, we had a Bahler early Thanksgiving, and Jordan and Madison got to "play" with their little cousins :-)
Jim was also able to finally open his 1955 bottle of Canadian Whiskey. In 1987, one of his college buddies gave him the gift of the whiskey "to be opened on the birth of his first grandson." So during this trip, Jim and Jason shared a toast with the whiskey, which literally "warmed" them right up...
Below are some photos from the trip in North Carolina.
