Passover drive

Passover drive

On Monday Ilana, Alden and I loaded up the car and prepared for the 13 hour drive south to Maryland for Passover. We had to stop in Brunswick at 9:30am for a doctor check-up relating to Alden’s ears. Everything looked good and after revisiting the doctor office to pick up a forgotten phone ten minutes later we were on our way.

Ilana was dreading the drive, last year we hit a spot of nasty traffic south of New Jersey which added an extra three and a half hours to the trip. Three month old Alden was quite upset by the delay and made his disapproval known. However, this trip went relatively smoothly despite a few heavy rain storms in Massachusetts. The New Hyundai can make it to Maryland on two tanks of gas, which is pretty sweet, although was stopped every three or four hours for a leg stretch/ diaper change. Alden actually seemed to enjoy most of the trip. I’d like to think he thought it was some quality family time getting to see both mommy AND daddy all day long. We arrived in Maryland around 10:30
