road trip!

ramona went on her first road trip last weekend, and it was a success. we drove to grand rapids to visit ramona's aunt libby, uncle bob, and cousin lilly. it was a great time.

baby's first backseat diaper change, in the parking lot of the michigan welcome center.

ramona loves her musical pig, which provided endless car seat entertainment.

yesterdog! david indulged his long-standing craving for grand rapids' (the world's) best hot dogs with a visit to the local favorite.

three yesterdogs, a cheddar dog, and a kraut dog. yum.

ramona's first visit to her namesake medical plaza (unfortunately, the medical building is now gone, and all that remains is this sign).
lilly communicates with the ducks on reeds lake, upon docks in the formerly named ramona park.

egr pride. that's east grand rapids pride, and that's david and ramona seated with the bronze statue of jimmy gerken.

a trip to the grand rapids art museum did not disappoint. the current calder jewelry display is well worth a visit. below, lilly and i take in the 2009 art prize winner--a painting of waves breaking at shore. the detail is breathtaking.

who's a good boy?

5 dogs. Good showing.

I can't believe the Ramona Medical Center sign is still there.

I dont think she is a fan of Jimmy Gerken... also, how much of the hot dog toppings managed to fall on Ramona's head?
