Wedding: Our First Roadtrip with a Baby

So, last weekend we went on a road trip with the baby. My cousin was getting married in Nashville and that was one wedding that I could not miss. I really loved the decor as I am a fan of burlap and mason jars. I also really liked the idea of the tree pieces. I saw more places to incorporate these where they didn't, like on the candy table or cake table which I didn't get any pictures of. I also thought this would have been a great guest book alternative. 


 I love the "M". I have Korbin Bru's initials in his nursery but I would love to have a "B" for our front door. I thought it was cute to have the glasses on the table. I think though I would have done redneck mason jars though for an extra "rustic" touch.


I loved this gazebo for the wedding. I thought that the burlap wrapped around the iron gave it a nice touch. The view was really pretty there at the Pick Inn.  


 I love the green mum flowers and Gerber daisies. They took a place in my own bouquet when Jeff and I were married in Vegas. 


Traveling with a baby left me feeling a little nervous. The hubby and I discussed leaving at night so that our little man would sleep all the way there and not disrupt his schedule. In the end, I was overruled by my parents who were going with us. They thought that the wedding itself would be a disruption to his schedule and that we should just give it a try. We ended up leaving at about 8 ish in the morning. We stopped at the Cracker Barrel for breakfast and little man was especially good. We took in his little boppy floppy thing- I don't know what else to call it- to use in a high chair but he was happy in his car seat. We did end up getting him out of the seat for a little while prior to us leaving because I couldn't stomach the thought of him being "trapped" in his car seat for over an hour.  He fell asleep after we got back on the road and took a 2 hour and 15 minute nap.We originally had stops planned but all decided as long as he was sleeping we were going to DRIVE! He woke for about the last 30-45 minutes and was an angel for all except  the last 10 ish minutes in which he had a diaper explosion and was getting hungry. So, far so good. But.....we still have a wedding to get through and the trip back home.
