First road trip

This weekend we decided to take a trip to visit our good friends in QC. I thought it would be a great overnight getaway, a change of pace for Alex and me. Overall it wasn't that bad, but our hosts probably don't think the same.
Alex cried most of the time she was awake, but she slept fairly good considering she wasn't at home in her bed, or in her swinging chair. Granted she was in a bit of pain from her immunization shots and nothing was familiar to her except her parents.
She was great in the car because I sat in the backseat with her, she does not travel well sitting in the back alone. She is not one of those babies who you can take for a car ride to fall asleep (unless she has company she can stare at).
When we got home Alex was very upset. It seemed that nothing would calm her. As soon as we walked in our house I tried to feed her and she wouldn't eat. I gave her a bath and she calmed down slightly but continued to cry. Then I gave her a massage and she calmed down even more but was still a bit cranky. She ate and eventually went to sleep in her swinging chair. It took her a while to realize she was home.
All in all it was an OK trip, a trial for our long trip to NS. next month.
