Living life with Colin

I’m feeling a lot better after taking a few days off through the long weekend. On Wednesday, Sophia and I decided to go to Carmel a bit early and roll the dice on two nights away with Colin. We really needed to get away for a bit and break out of our normal routine.

We had worried about Colin not adjusting well, but he adapted like a champion. He slept his normal hours and didn’t miss a beat. It was a test case to see what traveling with Colin would be like and the results were overwhelmingly positive.

We spent most of the trip doing casual walks around town and also visiting the aquarium one day. We spent more time in our hotel room than we’re typically used to on vacations because of Colin, but just getting out of our apartment and living a bit was really nice.

For the first time since Colin was born, things felt a bit like our old life but with the added benefit of showing Colin the world. While I’m sure he wasn’t too cognizant of what was happening the entire time, he’s been a lot more responsive and communicative lately. Bringing him with us on our adventures has been a treat.

Sophia and I are already talking about where to take Colin next. We’re going to be sure to take advantage of the baby years and travel as much as possible.
