Vacation By The Numbers and Pictures

June 23, 2008 by allisonbarton

10 hour drive from Pittsburgh to Boston

9 hours that Alex spent sleeping on the drive from Pittsburgh to Boston overnight

1 amazing lunch in Harvard Square with the wonderful Sarah and her boyfriend, Andy


1 night out on the town with Sarah and a few friends

200 ounces of beer shared between five people in a beer “tower”

3 tiny little finger nails that drew blood on the side of my nose (thanks, Alex)

2 people that ended up whimpering because of that scratch

9 hours in the sun in New Hampshire at a family gathering

200 hugs and kisses for all of the family members

5 short naps for Alex throughout the day

30 sips from a straw in a juice box at Legal Sea Food by Alex

6 pictures taken of the first juice box adventure

13 hours spent coming back to Pittsburgh from Boston

7000 tears shed by Alex on the drive back from Boston

3 million calories eaten on the drive to Boston and back (thank you Wendy’s and McDonald’s!)

1 new (to us!) Honda Pilot

    Great pics! You really drove all night? I am afraid of trying that. I am pretty sure my girls would NOT sleep the entire drive. I know at least one would be awake the entire time, and I wouldn’t get a wink of sleep. And the fact that I can’t sleep at all in the car doesn’t help!

    BTW….gotta love those amazing blue eyes!

    Wonderful pictures and a fun trip.

    wow took a lot longer to get home than it did to get there! Traveling with a baby is fun, isn’t it? ;) Looks like you had a great time though! A new Pilot, I’m so jealous!!

    Sounds like the trip there was more peaceful than the trip back home (it always seems to be that way for us too…).

    P.S. Cute photos! I love Alex’s hat!

    What a fun vacation! That hat with those eyes looks fantastic!

    Wow, you are brave to drive that far with a baby!

  • Who I am:

    I'm Allison Barton, a 22-year old new mother and student. I'm highly literal, occasionally moody, obsessed with Burt's Bees and compulsive about spreading butter perfectly onto toast. I am a wanna-be-Geek, loving all things Apple, and I hate competing with my friends. I am immensely loyal, not fastidious, and love to cook.

    This is me:

    Just me

  • My Family:

    I live with my wonderful partner, Zach, and our beautiful baby boy, Alexander. Alex was born on August 28, 2007. He is the most amazing little person that I could have ever imagined knowing. Zach is a software engineer and hopes Alex will love computers as much as he does. We live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

    This is my family:

    Daddy and Baby

    Aren't they adorable?

  • What I Like:

    I love Biology and all things related to health. I love baking cookies and bread from scratch, and trying new recipes. Shopping gives me pleasure, especially when I can buy things on clearance. I like warm weather, sunny days, and spending time outside. I love traveling and spending time with my family.
