bump #97: travelling with a baby

Welcome back! Hope your Summer has been some combination of relaxing, exciting, eventful, etc.! We spent much of the Summer travelling with Oliver... long road trips to visit family, camping in the mountains, driving up to Monterey Bay Aquarium, a few fun beach and pool days, and walks around the lake. Overall, this little guy is a trooper! He loves being outside and is generally pretty content. Unless he has to be in his car seat for longer than 30 seconds. Then all bets are off! I see limited road trips in our future, but we had a good run while it lasted.

What are your tips and tricks for travelling with little ones? We take turns sitting in the backseat with him and I try to postpone nap time so he will sleep in the car, but that often backfires and results in much weeping and gnashing of teeth. This time it worked out alright...

 

I can't believe our little guy is 5 months old already! Between work, moving, and travels, this lil blog has been quite neglected so here are a few pics from the last couple months to catch up...

For reals though, how do you all successfully travel with littles?
