Or so we thought until Alexander started running a fever which will keep Mommy and Daddy in Washington for a few more days until he can be safely released without worrying about a U-turn right back into the hospital.
But at least Grammy and Nicholas are getting to head home courtesy of a lift from Gramps and Moby Dodge. I have to say that I was quite thankful that Gramps drove that long-haul from Florida to Maryland because it solved a logistical nightmare for us.
You see, three of us had come to Washington in Mommy’s Escape but were it not for him, five of us would have been returning. In the light of hindsight, I probably should have hired a minivan for the trip but when you’ve got less than twenty-four hours to be on the road following your baby and Mommy who are flying to Washington, you don’t tend to think about those sorts of things. We’ll do it better next time! So I was prepared to hop a cheap flight from Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) or Dulles International (IAD) and grab a ride when I got to Raleigh.
Gramps made that hassle unnecessary by kindly returning Grammy and Nicholas home to Zebulon. By this point, Nicholas has had pretty much as he could stand of Washington and hospitals and not being home. Trust me, we know exactly where he was coming from on that one (Mommy even more so as she hasn’t really had much time in her own bed since Alexander was born).
Oh, we wish we were coming with you but for right now, we wish you a safe journey and we hope to see you soon!
