Jakson's first trip to the tabin!

Well, we made it! Our first out of state road trip up to Hoversten Haven in Jacobson, MN. We left Wednesday, July 15 around 7:15pm and arrived at the cabin at 1:30am. We made really good time driving late at night. It's amazing how much less time traveling takes without construction and other vactioners on the road! Jakson did really well in the car on the way there. He only woke up once when we stopped for a potty break and was mildly confused. I can't believe I made it all the way with only stopping once! When we got there, Paul and Cade greeted us and made a few faces at Jakson. Needless to say, Jak thought it was play time at 2:00 in the morning so we didn't get much sleep that night, or the next night, or the next, or the next. :)

Here are some things we learned on our vacation: we will never get a full nights sleep with Jakson in the room on vacation on a whole new schedule and new sleeping environment, Jakson LOVES ice-cream as a late night snack with grandpa, Jakson hates life jackets, I am a BAD fisherman (woman), fish frys are yummy, grease makes you feel sick, mullets and tapered jeans with zippers on the bottom are STILL in style in Jacobson, MN, cleaning up a diaper explosion after a long car ride in a BRAND NEW car seat is not fun, Jakson loves marshmallow (thanks grandma rita), you can bond a lot when it's cloudy and a scorching 55 degrees for 4 days at the cabin, having a baby is a great excuse for stopping at outlet malls, AND last but not least, vacations spent with family are some of the best memories we'll ever have! We can't wait for more cabin trips in years to come!

Cabin trip #1= LOTS OF GOOD TIMES!!!
