Gone are the days of soaking in the sun and libations on spring break (yes, even as adults we get a "spring break" because I married a teacher...and it.is.awesome!). However, this year was the most special trip yet! We were able to go to Ohio for three amazing events, and a very fun mix of family and friends. First up, Easter...which was also Harper's baptism day! We wanted to divide our time between grandparents houses, so we headed to Cincinnati first.
The next morning we traveled up to Newark to celebrate Easter with the ever-hospitable and wonderful Weekly crew. It was a beautiful day (ok, I take that back...it was raining and freezing!) and the ceremony was so moving. Harper lapped up the attention from the priest....

Then we spent a few days soaking up family and friends in the nasty 'Nati. Our good friends, Chad and Christina were finally able to meet Cael! The Gilbert dogs, Carson and Gracie, loved having a baby in the house, and were as much protective as they were curious about this little human bouncing all over the place. The weather was nice for opening day, and
Cael loved watching the Reds!

Then mid-week we headed to Antwerp for some Dolinski/Gonya lovin. Everyone was so excited to see Cael again, since it had been since Christmas (when he was 8 weeks) and his personality is so fun now! When we got to town, everyone was at work...so we were able to relax and unwind after the drive, soak up some sun and wait for the madness to start! The rest of the week was filled with visitors and fun, ending with a Baptism party for Cael. Waylon's birthday was also that week, turning two years old already!! Waylon loves to go outside, and begs to do it all the time (video).
It was so neat to see his eyes light up when he saw that we brought him presents!! We were able to meet baby Carter at the party, and Great-Grandma/Papa Dolinski came down from Michigan!!

We went back to Cincinnati for Cael's baptism Sunday, then headed back to Virginia the next morning. I swear our baby is the best traveler ever...I think even more tolerant than most adults I know! haha He did love to stretch it out when we would stop to rest/eat/nurse...and he really enjoyed our make-shift changing table in the car (because let's be honest, rest areas and McD's are not the ideal place to change the babe and let him roll around a little!)
