Two weeks ago, Alex handled his first early morning international conference call like a champ {of course, it was so early that I took the call from bed and kept it on mute 90% of the time so that colleagues wouldn't hear his uber-cute chatter}::
... But before we could let the little guy think life is all work and no play, we decided to take off for a two-week tour of the northeast!
Stop #1 :: Shamokin, PA {the heart of the Northeast Corridor, obv}!
Alex donned his grey Pebble Vest for a day out manning Sarah and Jeff's stand at the town's heritage festival.
This vest and his grey Little Heaume hat were some of the smallest pieces I made, so while the weather was horrible, I was so excited for the chance to dress him in these hand knits at least once before he outgrew them! And of course, having little A around was the perfect distraction that keep everyone smiling as we suffered through the wind and cold.
Stop #2 : Saxis, VA! Saxis was four days of pure relaxation for the whole fam. We gave Alex his first beach day, granted he didn't touch the water and barely saw the sun {he made a valiant effort to kick the blanket off his feet and get some sun on those toes, and there was that trip to the water under C's shirt}.
Cash was treated to his own day of fun in the bay ::
Stop #3 : Philadelphia! We stopped in to visit Chia Krissy and to pick up some Sage {summer cocktail season is here!}.
From there, we did a drive-by of the NYC skyline ::
Stop #4 : Boston, MA!
We had a great time playing tourists in Boston. With beautifully sunny weather on Sunday, we drove through Salem for a day at the beach in Bar Harbor.
On Day 2, Calder and Alex indulged me in a bit of shopping, stopping in those cute shops that can only be found in the city.
And Day 3 was spent picnicking in Boston Common and riding the swan boats!
After close to 24 hours spent in the van for this trip, I have to say that I'm loving the road trip view {Calder and Cash handle driving and navigation while Alex and I hold down the back seat}::
And, those hours spent in the back seat are not wasted! I picked up some yarn during Stop #2 in VA and had plenty of time to start a new project {Little Arrowhead Shawl} while keeping little Alex company.

Great photos! I love the one of Alexander on the bed. What a doll baby.
Such great photos! That baby sweater, I have no words, I think Sarah's face says it all.
