We took Ben on his first roadtrip last weekend. Dave had a conference to go to in Michigan, so we decided to make a trip of it and visit my sister who currently lives there in wedded bliss with Redpac. It's about a 5 hour drive, but it ended up being a lot longer with that since we took breaks for Benjamin. We had stopped by a rest area on our way there, but to my surprise, there were no changing tables in the bathroom! I ended up having to change Ben in the car, and he was NOT happy about it!
We got to Michigan safe and sound, and we had a great time there. Here's a couple pictures as well as a run through of our weekend:
This was my breakfast on the second day. Banana croissant french toast. Croissants dipped in french toast batter, cooked, covered with bananas and banana sauce. I'm drooling just thinking about it!
The Gumbo Ya Ya at Fishbone's. Not too spicy, with just enough kick to make me take a sip of water after eating.
Fishbones: Cajun food and Sushi. It seems weird to make together, but actually works out really well!
My Rainbow Roll at Fishbone's, with my unagi peeking behind it. DEEEE-LICIOUS!
Ben checks out Claudine's schedule. He had an AWESOME time at Claudine and Dan's because they had so much stuff for him to touch, from coasters to mp3 players to pennies to tape measures. He had his hand on them all. It was like sensory overload!
The big Uniroyal wheel on I-75 (or I-94, I'm not sure). We passed it on our way home. Several hours after this, we ran into an awful snowstorm in Indiana. Of course, it was during my driving shift and I was ultra alert as I was driving because I couldn't see the car right in front of me. It was pretty scary! But we got through it, and Ben pretty much slept through the whole thing.
All in all, a great weekend, except for the snowstorm thing. Claudine and Dan were wonderful hosts, taking us to some yummy places to eat! Thanks guys!

Good luck on losing weight. 15 minutes on the elliptical before and after work sounds like a good plan. I do 15 minutes on something in our company workout room at least once, usually twice a day too. It works for me.
