Roadtrip!

Each Thanksgiving we usually get together with the Kienzle family at various locations (where there is a timeshare...we will travel) for a week of fun, food and family (okay, and a little wine too). This year we are off to Tahoe, marking Niko's first time to Tahoe AND his first roadtrip.

What is a roadtip without the prerequisite stop at Starbucks?? And yes, he IS dressed like a penguin. Hee hee!

This is where we got the first inclination that he might be interested in trying food - look at the staredown he is giving my breakfast wrap!

Disappointed that I wouldn't give him a taste of my bacon, egg and avocado wrap, he maintains a tight grip on his bottle. (This is something new for him! I saw him grab the bottle with both hands and hold on to it for an extended period the day before when I was picking him up at daycare.)

Loaded back into the car for the rest of the drive to Tahoe, sharing his space with the cooler and his Thanksgiving burp cloth (thanks Grammy). Look how cheerful he looks! Hopefully he will not inherit the dreaded Kienzle motion sickness!

When I told him to keep an eye on his timeshare key (Marriott Timber Lodge) I guess he took me literally. -- or is it figuratively, right Mel -- hee hee!

Niko flouts the "6 month" Bugaboo ordinance and starts cruising around in his upright seat at 5 1/2 months.
