TOPIC: Baby's First Road Trip - The 10: 1 Ratio

Probably throughout the course of human history, every time "the baby" has been taken out for a trip, it demanded 10 times the baby's weight in stuff to make that trip possible.  The historical 10: 1 ratio.

For all I know, after the invention of the wheel, came the invention of the first baby wagon to carry all the "baby's stuff."

What the Indians did not show you is that following that compact little papoose was a pack horse laden down with "baby's stuff"!  The Eskimos wrap baby up in a walrus pouch, with another dog sled to follow piled high with more of "baby's stuff."  Laplanders probably have a second, or third, reindeer following behind for, well, for "baby's stuff."  Heck, for all I know the cave man dragged his woman by her hair with one hand, with baby perched on her stomach, and the other hand dragged a dug-out log full of "baby's stuff"!

Such it was for my grand baby's first road trip.  "Baby's stuff" was packed and we all piled into two cars (no, one was not just for "baby's stuff") and drove off to see the cascading water fall of Provo Canyon in Utah.  To me the falls looked impressively high, maybe 300 feet or so, I don't know, with three cascading falls.

After getting strapped into place in a stroller that would make a NASA astronaut proud, with its assortment of pouches, sun hood, wind breaker and even a clear, plastic wind shield (!), we were off to make the short walk to the falls.

Baby slept the whole way!  Up and back.

Just look at how excited he was!

It was a quick trip, but I was glad to be there, see it and be a part of it.

What a fun visit it was to see Pace!

Before I left I had to snap a photo of some more of "baby's stuff."

That includes some casual wear for around the house, seen on the right, and active wear for those future road trips, on the left and bottom.

And, for those moments of deep contemplation and ponderment of the universe, there is moving, visual stimulation.

That mobile set includes a very special "football lullaby" accompaniment to help settle the mind and prepare for rest.

Wow, where in the world did all that Redskin stuff come from?

LOL. Gee, I really do wonder where all the Redskin gear came from!

More of "baby's stuff..."

Jay you are a lucky man....and you know me and my boys are HUGE skinns fans as well. ;D

Thanks Jim. 

My basement:

Oh, all those pictures are signed.  There is a Sammie Baugh, signed, to the right of Riggins.

For the first time in a long time I may actually have something to look forward to with the Browns. Mike Holgrem seems to know his football.

Great picks Jay!!

I have no problems with the Skins unless they play the Browns.
