People said we were crazy, I kind of agreed, but our road trip to North Carolina was actually quite pleasant. Olin turned 1 month old on the trip and he did a great job sleeping in his car seat for most of the drive. He looked awfully cute when we stopped and we got lots of attention. Before he turned 5 weeks old he had traveled through 10 states! I enjoyed the scenery and didn't drive a single mile! I offered, but no one else was willing to breastfeed.

Here is Olin the Smokey Mtn Nat'l forest on the Appalachain trail wishin' he had remembered his hiking boots.

Here we are at the border of NC and Tennessee in the Smokey Mtns. I don't know why nobody told me to do something with my hair.

This is on the blue ridge mountain parkway. It was absulotely breathtaking!

Olin, chillin' in the Scamp.

This is the whole reason we made the trip--for an Ultimate 20 Regatta. Above is our friend Mark's boat. Nate raced with Mark. They were in 3rd place until the races on Sunday. Things didn't go quite as well, but they had a good time.
