As is traditional when I'm about 6 months pregnant, we decided to take a ridiculously long road trip to visit the McCain family. This time, we drove to Vermont to visit Grandma and Grandpa Jelly Bean and their candy store. We spent a few days exploring the Green Mountains, and then headed to Meshoppen, PA to visit the Glorious Gustins. We had a blast, and Hazel seemed to realize that she was no longer a baby anymore, and now refuses to be treated like one. She wants to be a big girl and do big girl things.
