528 miles

That's how far me + 3 friends are driving ONE WAY to go to quilt retreat this weekend.

Quilt retreat*!  We are just that cool:) 

We made the first leg of our journey today. We drove over 400 miles...in a Prius! Tonight we are sleeping at my parents' house and then in the morning we will continue (with my mom) on our merry way (with a few stops at fabric and crafts shops). 

4 women (+ 3 in utero babies) in a Prius. Doesn't get much cozier than that!


And Joe thought there was no way all our stuff would fit. Ha! We showed him! And saved a ton of money on gas too. Win-win!

We already are having such a great time. Uninterrupted conversation. Eating without feeding a small person/people. Using the bathroom alone. Getting in and out of the car without unloading small people. And walking around diaper bag-less. It's AMAZING! And it's only going to get better. It's kind of like a crafter's dream come true. 



*Earlier this week I was informed that clarifying that it isn't just quilting does NOT make it sound any better. But for the record, I won't be sewing. I am finally making Hannah's first year scrapbook.

  3. Alrighty then. I knew it wasn't Genelle, and you HAVE made a few posts lately about babies. SO I thought maybe this was a backwards way of outing yourself? Are you back? You want to do a play date on Wednesday with soem MOPS mommies?
