Jackson's Frist Trip

On Thursday afternoon we left for Alton, Kansas (population like 80)! Brian's dad grew up there and his grandpa still lives there. We drove through the night Thursday and arrived at 5:00 am Friday morning. Jackson was a great traveler both ways! We actually had to wake him up to eat a few times and no dirty diapers while in the car:) While in Alton and since we have been home are a different story!

Brian's parents were making the trip down from WI, so we thought we would go meet them and introduce Jackson to his Great Grandpa.

Since, it was Father's Day weekend most of Brian's uncles and some cousins also made the trip to Alton.

Alton is a very small town. There is one paved road, one restraunt that is only open two days a week for lunch, a church, post office, and Hartzler Hardware. You won't really understand until you go there yourself. There is not much to do in Alton or around it. I went 5 days with no internet and no trips to Target! We took lots of walks, played Rook, did crosswords, and just hung out.

Jackson got spoiled with LOTS of attention from everyone, especially grandma and grandpa!

Brian and I got to take a few walks by ourselves which was a special treat since we got to hold hands not the stroller:)

We had a good time hanging out with everyone! This will probably have been our only "vacation" this summer since we bought a house and are moving in July.
