Maryland bound

Grandma and Fi in stripes

Fiona took her first trip to Maryland so that I could attend the American Alliance of Museums conference in Baltimore.  I was a little anxious because I'd be doing the long car trip all by myself.  In preparation, we took a trip to Reading and then to Lancaster for outlet shopping with Nana last week.  She did really well then (and got some cute new outfits to boot!) and equally as well on the car ride to Maryland.  She fussed around the Delaware state line but I plugged her up with her pacifier, and she was good to go.

I was also nervous about our Maryland trip because it was the first time Tim and I would be leaving her for even short a period of time.  It was odd to walk out the door without her on Sunday morning, but she was terrific and spent lots of time snuggling with Grandma and Grandpa.  Since it was her Maryland debut, she had a lot of visitors including Mom-mom, Uncle Jimmy, and much of the Krantz clan.  Aunt Tadpole and Uncle Mark stopped by and brought Fi her first Orioles outfit.  She is going to have to grow into this onesie since she is still just a wee little girl, but it should fit her well be the World Series (wishful thinking?).
