Charlotte had her first road trip this weekend! Over the past several months, we had gone back and forth about going down to Waco for Baylor's Homecoming. We had a wedding in Dallas Saturday afternoon, so if we went, we knew it would be a very quick trip. Friday afternoon, I got a text from my friend Jen asking if we were coming down. She lives in Waco with her husband, Kurt, and 2 precious kids. I told her we thought about it, but decided it would be too quick to drive down for the parade and basically turn around to come back to Dallas for the wedding. She asked us to come stay the night with them, and go to the parade the next day. Baylor has a great Homecoming parade, and Kurt and Michael's fraternity always builds an amazing float! I have loads of pics from college of Michael with a full beard wearing overalls when he was a float chair. They take it pretty seriously, and always do a great job!

We are not always very spontaneous, but we decided to pack up really fast and drive down! I'm so glad we did! Their daughter Audrey is just a few weeks younger than Charlotte, and we hadn't seen her yet. We couldn't wait for Charlotte to meet her new buddy! We didn't get to their house until about 8 that night, but we stayed up to chat for a while.

Saturday, we grabbed breakfast, and headed downtown to campus. It was pretty chilly that morning, but nothing a little hot cocoa couldn't take care of! We had so much fun catching up with old friends, and seeing all of the festivities. It was strange being on campus with a stroller! We had a great time!

Thank you Kurt & Jen for inviting us to stay with you!
