Here’s roughly the route we’ve taken (and will be taking) on this trip. It’s a long way, but we’ve had fun so far and TJ has done very well.

Well, we’ve survived two weeks on the road with a three month old, only two more to go. We’re currently in Colorado, enroute to Phoenix after spending time in Rapid City, we’re taking our time across Colorado, enjoying the trip and not pushing too hard.

One of the things I love about my job is that I can do it pretty much from anywhere. So, today I’m sitting in a Panera bread in Sioux Falls, SD about 1300 miles from where I live. And I’m getting quite a bit done! Tuesday I was actually working whilst traveling down I-90 at about 70 mph (and no, I wasn’t driving!), modern technology is a wonderful thing. On the downside, it tends to mean that I’m available to work 24/7/365 and that I sometimes let work escape its cage and interfere with the rest of my life. But I try to keep that the exception and not the rule. In any case, we’ve just about finished week one of Baby Tour 2007 and I’m happy to report that things are going well, TJ is becoming a seasoned traveler and, while he doesn’t necessarily enjoy the car seat, doesn’t seem to mind it too much (unless he has a dirty diaper, in which case, find an exit fast!). We’ve made the Nutt family reunion in Monroe, visited cousins in Wisconsin and now are visiting friends in Sioux Falls, next stop is Rapid City, then off to Phoenix to see my family. From there, things get a bit fuzzy as the itinerary isn’t set in stone yet, but it involves Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Pennsylvania and possibly Kentucky (whew!).

Timothy @ 3 Months

It’s amazing the difference 3 months can make. He’s gone from being completely helpless to only mostly helpless! We’re getting ready to take him on the road tomorrow and will be gone nearly a month, so it should be interesting to see how he changes in that period.
