Working Vacation

Kate is ecstatic to have more responsibility at work, and it's paying off right away. She was sent to Lincoln University, outside of Philadelphia, to speak to an incoming group of Fulbright students, and Maceo and I were able to tag along.
We left on Sunday and drove to Philly itself where we stayed overnight with friends, Liz and Stefan, and their three adorable and precocious kids.

Kate and Maceo snacking, while Oliver and Josephine play with an iPhone.

Evan, the middle son, was off to zoo camp at the time of this photo. Stefan is a photographer and we are lucky enough to have a number of his photos in our house. For the birth of Maceo, he has given us another print and we are super excited to get it! He's having it matted and then I will build a frame for it.






Stefan also gave me a flash for my camera and I got to play with that in the hotel room while I watched Maceo and Kate went out to make money.
Overall, for our first trip with Maceo, it was quite fun. He had a rougher ride up in the car than coming back, but he was pretty good the whole way. He didn't sleep as well as he has been at home, but that seems easily attributable to the changes in schedule and routine. And he seemed to like going in the pool, though, sadly, there are no photos of that.
