Tech and Travels

Our family of 6 went to the beach with my parents last week.  We didn't have a car DVD player, so my mom offered to get us a portable DVD player for the car to help my constantly on-the-move 7-month old baby sit still happily.  It was such a blessing to us on our trip - especially when he decided to stay awake almost the whole trip from Florida to Tennessee!  We didn't use it constantly - he still had independent play with toys, playtime with siblings/parents, and quiet rest time.  But when he was tired of sitting still, it was a HUGE help with keeping him happy.  The rest of us were very grateful for a little bit of technology during our travels!
