This past weekend Allie made the trip up to Winona, Minnesota to visit her great-grandma!! She invited Auntie Kim, Grandma Whamond and I to go along with her. :) Unfortunately, Uncle Mike had a busy schedule so he wasn't able to join us. 
So far she has been a pretty good traveler. I was definitely a little nervous about upsetting the people in the assisted living home, but she kept her fussing to a minimum. The weekend was actually quite wonderful as great-aunt Pam, and the rest of the fam gave my sore wrists a rest and held Allie for much of the time. Allie got a taste of a true girl's weekend. We spent most of our time talking, shopping and eating the infamous long johns from Bloedow's Bakery. :) I should mention that shopping in Minnesota where there is no tax is a dangerous thing for someone who is such a sucker for a good deal!!! Auntie Kim and I may have blown the bank while great-grandma and grandma watched Allie.
The best quote of the weekend came from great-grandma. She was telling me about her "conversation" with Allie. Her interpretation of some of Allies louder noises: "Allie had a few swears to say." :)
We were thinking about visiting my cousin Jill on our way home, but Allie was ready to get home. She sleeps great in the car, but it throws off her sleep schedule. :(This is the Sugar Loaf, which is on top of the bluff that great-grandma used to live on.
