St. Louis and Illinois!

We had such a great trip. We had a great time celebrating 4th of July in St. Louis with Tia Brigid and Tio Eddy.  After St. Louis we spent almost 2 weeks with my sister and family in Illinois.  We went camping, spent time in Chicago at Millienium Park, we celebrated birthdays, went to the Dave Matthews Band Caravan festival (without Harper), went to the zoo~ As you can see, we just had a blast with everyone.  To top it off, my brother and two of his kids, Aaron and Bella were able to come in from NJ and my mom flew in from CA! So most of the Garcia family was there! We missed you Auntie Maria and cousin Alina!!! 

Here are some pics from our time in the midwest!

First stop was In-N-Out in Dallas!

Harper's first MLB game!  St. Louis Cardinals won!



What's a trip to St. Louis without the Anheuser Busch tour!

Harper and I stayed in and watched the Fourth of July festivities from our hotel.


 Acutally, she slept, I watched :)

We could see the arch from our room!

3,762 miles, 21 days, 10 states, 6 cousins, ONE amazing traveling baby!

Well, we just got back from an amazing trip to see family in Illinois (and a few side trips :).  We had the best time!  We were a little nervous to see how Harper would adapt to being in a car so much and sleeping in weird places and at abnormal times.  She did GREAT!  Couldn't have asked for a better baby!  I guess she was born to travel.....hmmm... I wonder where she gets that from??

Harper travelled to 6 new states bringing her grand total to 11 states.  She's catching up to us!

Here are a few pics of our trip.  I plan on making a few more posts that are a little more specific to where we travelled.  Enjoy these pics!
