Our drive-time to visit-time ratio was all off on this trip. In total, the drive took about 26 hours and we were only in town for about 48 hours. On the plus side, Maya was a fantastic traveler who handled the drive like a champ and only turned into a crazy person once we reached the hotel, and even then she was running around screaming with a huge smile on her face. Dad was shocked at how well she was in the car. See, that's the great thing about having one kid- no backseat bickering.
The best part of the trip was how quickly Maya took to Grandma. They haven't seen each other since Maya was 4 months old but you wouldn't have known it by looking. Maya needed a moment to warm up but it didn't take long before she was climbing all over Grandma. For weeks leading up to our trip, Maya would talk about how she was going to see "my Grandma" and "my Grandma loves me." It's nice that there are some things in life that you can always count on.
Maya has always had a weird relationship with dogs. She likes the idea of them but doesn't want them to come near her and doesn't seem to like to pet them. We have exposed her to all kinds of dogs and puppies and yet she only likes them from afar. If you give her a few days she will eventually come around to playing with Buddy, Uncle Mo's golden retriever, but that's about it.
Well, she finally found a dog that she liked almost instantly, the pitbull:
Of course.
