Our travels

We left Sunday morning for Colorado. We made it here safely! And the prize for the most high-maintenance, anxious, stressed-out traveler goes to...Reagan. Ben might take second place. He was a tad nervous about how the entire plane experience would transpire, given that we had a dog and a baby and a ton of luggage. Lainey did great and was a trooper until the very end of the four hour car ride from Albuquerque to Pagosa Springs. She became just a little fussy at that point. Here are a few pictures from yesterday!

at the airport

Reagan is slightly "under the influence". You can tell by her eyes that she had something to help her calm down on the flight. While yes, she was squinting a little in this picture, this is a pretty accurate picture of what she looked like. Her eyes were so sleepy and drowsy, halfway closed much of the time. She pretty much snapped out of it by the time Lucy and Sofi greeted her here, however. Good thing, too, or she might have been squashed. The three dogs have been playing together very well, though, so I'm happy about that.

Ben taking the meaning of "open road" a bit too lightly. I have to say, however, that this was the NICEST cop. He was funny and informative and probably would have been happy to sit and chat for a while.

"Tell me again, why is it that I have to sit in this car seat? Can't I sit on your lap and play or something?"
