Try to make the best out of an uncomfortable situation, right? Well, that is what we are doing. We traveled to Auburn during the hurricane. Even though it took us 10 hours to get here, Kevin was excited to take Peyton around Auburn University. The pictures of Peyton is at Auburn University and he is wearing his Tiger baby outfit and hat. We shopped and got Auburn T-shirts, a jersey, a Auburn hat and a stuffed Aubie that plays the War Eagle song. There was no limit to buying Auburn stuff when it came to Kevin. Aunt Margaret (even though she is Gator) and Auntie Dawn (LSU) should love Kevin's T-shirt dogging LSU. He had to get it. We heard that they are allowing us back tomorrow. But we are not sure when we will return because we are not looking forward to having no electricity. So, we don't know what we are going to do at this point.
We are also not looking forward to the ride back because Peyton has low tolerance with being in the car seat. On the ride up here he threw up all over the place from being so upset. A friend of mine put in her baby site that her son did the same thing. Personally, I think it is their sneaky little way of getting OUT of the seat. :) I can understand, I was so tired of being in my seat and on the road after hour four.
But once we got here we have been enjoying ourselves. My parents was also up here and we spent a lot of time with them. My mom was in heaven because she had Peyton to herself. She walked around the campground showing him off. I think I may have held him for a total of 5 minutes. Which is okay with me. It was nice to have the extra help. They are on the road right now going home since St. Charles are allowing residence back in. So my help is gone. :( My mom would have stayed as long as we are but my Dad was ready to get back home to access the damage.
UPDATE:
New Orleans residents were allowed back in around 10:00 a.m. yesterday (Wednesday), so we called our house to see if the answering machine picked up if there was power. Once the answering machine picked up, we decide to go ahead and pack and get on the road. We left around 3:00 p.m and arrived home around 9:00 p.m. It was smooth sailing with the traffic and the drive back was not as hard as going up there, but Peyton made it a little rough around hour number three on the road. He finally feel asleep about the hour and a half left mark. It is rough being on the road much less with a baby that hates to be confined. But at least this time he did not throw up all over the place.
