MADISON

Last Saturday and Sunday we were in Madison, visiting our friends there, and introducing them to Bahia, as well as experimenting traveling with a baby since we need to plan what to do and take when we visit Nahid & Naysan next month, and that will be a long trip - we are going by car!

Bahia behaved wonderfully!! We drove there and it takes two and a half hours each way. She slept the whole time in our way there and almost the whole time coming back, she woke up half way for nursing, so we stopped and we also had a treat -icecream! ;)

In Madison we had a great time, we placed most of our pictures in Bahia's blog, since she was always the center of attention! We visited our friends Lua & Hadi, and Gino, Khadijih and Rumi, as well as the Vestlie brothers, Caitlin and the Manners brothers. With them we went apple picking and for a pumpking patch, on Saturday, and that evening we all carved our pumpkings, had some pizza and played games, the boys played ping-pong of course!

Sunday morning we went to the Baha'i center for devotions and we met there all the dear friends who were happy to meet Bahia, there were also a lot of babies and kids, since after devotions they have children classes. Hadi made us a wonderful lunch, so we ate with the Yaganagi-Maggiore and soon after left back to Cedar Rapids. It was a great trip!

We learned a lot from this experience, what we need (almost everything) and how to organize a trip by car. We are already making the arrangements for our trip to Canada, which is 12 hours each way, but we are considering few stops for Bahia to eat and rest, so it will be longer than that!! We are so excited though!!! :)










El sabado y domingo nos fuimos a Madison para visitar a nuestros amigos alli, para presentarles a Bahia y de paso para ver como es viajar con un bebe y que necesitamos llevar o hacer, pues estamos planeando visitar a Nahid & Naysan el mes que viene y ese si sera un largo viaje, pues planeamos ir por tierra!

Bahia se porto de maravilla!! Fuimos en auto y la manejada es dos horas y media de ida y lo mismo de regreso. Ella durmio todo el camino de ida y casi todo el camino de vuelta, se desperto a mitad del camino para tomar su leche, asi que paramos a tomar unos helados ;)

En Madison la pasamos muy bien, pusimos la mayor parte de las fotos en el blog de Bahia, pues ella es siempre el centro de atraccion! Estuvimos con nuestros amigos Lua & Hadi, Gino, Khadijih y Rumi, ademas de los hermanos Vestlie, Caitlin y los chicos Manners que vinieron a vernos. Con ellos fuimos a cosechar manzanas y calabazas el sabado por la tarde, aprovechamos que el dia no estaba tan mal y nos fuimos. Por la noche comimos pizza y los chicos jugaron ping-pong.

El domingo por la mañana fuimos a la sede local para las devocionales y alli vimos a nuestros queridos amigos quienes estaban felices de conocer a Bahia en persona, habian muchos niños, pues despues de las devocionales son las clases de niños. Hadi nos cocino un riquisimo almuerzo, asi que comimos con los Yaganagi-Maggiore y de ahi retornamos a Cedar Rapids. Fue realmente un lindo paseo.

Aprendimos bastante de esta experiencia, en cuanto a que llevar (casi de todo) y como organizar el viaje por tierra. Desde ya estamos preparandonos para el viaje a Canada, el cual es 12 horas de ida (y lo mismo de vuelta) pero con las paradas para las comidas de Bahia, seguro que sera mas!! Pero estamos ya emocionados por que llegue el dia!!! :)
