Disc Dog / Work trip to Atlanta Georgia

Hey everybody!

Due to some quick thinking by Danny we were able to combine a business trip, a disc dog tournament and a little vacation all into one! The family (minus Frodo because only competing dogs were allowed at the disc dog event) had their first big road trip together. Now we had heard many horror stories about traveling with a baby, and it does have its challenges (such as diaper blow-outs in the car seat...) but overall Sydney was a super-star. We made the trip to Atlanta in just a little over 11 hours! The way back was 12.5 and that includes the aforementioned diaper blow-out and stopping for lunch!

While in Atlanta Danny worked friday, monday and tuesday. On saturday and sunday we were at a disc dog tourney (Danny and Guinan took third in Toss and Fetch and Qualified for the USDDN World Finals in Louisville in November.) While Danny worked Sydney and I hung out at the hotel, went shopping, visited Sydney's first art musuem (where she quickly discovered her voice echoed, thankfully it was happy baby-talk) and generally charmed all the locals.

Below are some pictures and videos from our trip (prepare yourself for these folks-- Syd enjoyed being outside and it shows!):


Danny and Guinan's first freestyle routine of the year.


Syndey and Guinan pass the time together in the hotel on Sydney's Half Birthday. Yep, she is already six months old!


Warm babies are a natural sedative.


Did we mention she has two teeth already?!


But she hasn't crawled (forward) yet...

More cuteness...
