The first long-haul trip

After the ca. 1 hour drive to Aschau for Markus’ Dad’s birthday party last Friday Jakob took off for his first long-haul trip on Wednesday evening. While Kerstin was feeding our son for a long time Markus stuffed the car with pretty much all of Jakob’s clothes, most of his toys and only a few pieces of luggage for ourselves and left home shortly after 1900 heading west towards Vorarlberg for 1,5 weeks with Kerstin’s family. Following a brief stop at Lini & Peter’s place (still waiting for Anna) in order to wish them luck for the big day Jakob was pretty soon fast asleep in his MaxiCosi car seat.

A fully loaded car + a filled up Jakob = quiet drive to the West

The next 4 hours were very quiet and peaceful in our car and only shortly ahead of Munich Jakob started to wake up. A short 30 minute pit-stop in Munich with eating and pooping did the trick and as soon as we got back on the highway Jakob was again in the land of the dreams and only woke up when we arrived at grandma Heidi, who was still awake waiting for us. In our view Jakob passed the drive test and obviously we are very happy that he likes driving longer distances.
