March 26, 2000 - Sunday
Harry's aunt and uncle have been visiting for the extended weekend and we drove places both days. That's fine for us adults, but it is more time in the car than Harry is accustomed. Yesterday, we drove an hour north for brunch and then another 45 minutes farther north for the afternoon. The trip home was a little more than an hour and a half. Today, we went south to Harry's great aunt's farm. It's usually about an hour each way, but we did some sightseeing and were really in the car for a couple hours straight on the way there. (While at the farm, Harry was doing a fabulous job standing for several seconds at a time, albeit with support on the sides so he wouldn't tip over.)

I'm always curious to try new things with Harry and was interested see how he'd do with so much time in the car. He seemed to handle both excursions quite well. On both occasions, Harry may have benefited from the fact that his mother was sitting next to him and was able to distract him during the times - which were admittedly few - that he was not sleeping. And, naturally, the fact that we broke the travel down into mostly hour 1-2 hour legs helped because Harry should be taking naps during the day anyway. Nonetheless, it's comforting to know that Harry is portable.
