1. 6 month old babies do not like being strapped in a car seat for 10 hours, and they remember it the next time you are going somewhere. It doesn't matter that it's just a 15 minute drive, they think you are taking them 10 hours again and will scream just the same.
2. When you go on a trip, do NOT leave a family member to take your dog to the groomer. You may come home to an animal that is totally shaved and doesn't resemble the cute, cuddly dog you left behind. It will grow back...it will grow back...
3. Colorado has the most perfect weather, and if we could just win the dang lottery, Chase and I would buy a second (or third if we really won a lot of money) home there.
4. When you travel with three people, you have much more laundry than if you just travel with two. I may have to cut this short to go fold clothes!
5. Small town police officers will not allow you to use your screaming baby (see #1) as an excuse for speeding.
6. However, my $104 speeding ticket is only small in comparison to Mark's $188 dollar speeding ticket. We were both going 10 mph over, but the small town cop was better than the highway patrol I guess.
7. Elk, deer and fox live in Colorado. Bears live in New Mexico. At least that's what my eyes tell me.
8. Traveling is more fun with great friends. We really enjoyed getting to spend time with Mark and Abby, and hopefully encourage a little Simpson to be thought about a little more quickly.
9. Going from 0-1 caffeinated drinks a day to 5 will make a baby stay up all night. It shouldn't take a mother of a 6 month old 3 sleepless nights to figure this out; however, once I figured it out, Colt was back sleeping like a baby.
10. We are blessed beyond measure to have good friends who share their cabin, and a God that created something so beautiful as mountains.
Now, I'm off to work on these piles of laundry...
