We started out packing for our trip a few days before we left. I should have started packing more like a week out - this baby of ours does not travel light!! Here is a snippet of what we brought for him for a week of travel:
- 3 onesies for each day (21 total)
- 2 pairs of shorts
- 2 pairs of pants
- 1 sweatshirt
- 45 diapers
- 10 swim diapers
- 2 pairs of swim trunks
- Sleepers
- 3 pairs of socks
- Shampoo
- Baby Lotion
- Sunscreen
- Nail Clippers
- 6 bibs
- 6 burpcloths
- 5 bottles
- 4 bowls
- 4 spoons
- 6 jars of baby food
- Rice cereal
- Formula
- Bumbo seat
- Travel swing
- Pack-n-play
- Toys
- Stroller
- Car seat (duh, right?!)
We made the first day's trip from Denver to Moab. JB was great in the car. After I sat next to him the whole time. It was like I was 11 all over again!!
We stayed in Moab for two nights - Trevor went on some great mountain bike rides and we visited the Arches National Park. I can't say that I am interested in ever returning to Moab - unless a sweet resort opens up with a spa.

After two nights in Moab, we headed back to CO and made a stop in Beaver Creek. We stayed at the Park Hyatt and it was awesome. I was back in my natural habitat :)

We finished up our vacation with one night in Vail at the trusty Cascade. We got a sweet upgrade to a room that walked out to Gore Creek and we hung out at the infinity pool and had a lovely dinner (until Jackson decided he was ready to go).
All in all, good first family vacation. Jackson was fabulous, except for sleeping at night. I think he was too anxious in unfamiliar settings and he also isn't used to sleeping in the same room as us. He woke up a lot and he ended up just sleeping with us every night.
Luckily, life has gotten back to normal for us this past week and Jackson has slept from 7-7 the past three nights! He is also eating about 4oz of baby food three times a day. Baby is getting a belly :)

Love that plaid hat of JB's! Moab has it's own special beauty; but, I'd go for a spa there, too!
