The Valente Family Journal: Mason LOVES New Jersey!

Anthony had some clients to visit in PA so we decided to take Mason on his very first family road trip to meet some family members and friends in New Jersey! It took us about 12 hours to get there and 10 1/2 to get home but Mason loves his car rides! He only had one meltdown the entire time-such a good little man!

Each day we were on the go but got to visit with some awesome people while there! On our way down, Mase got to meet his new friend Addison Barry when we had breakfast with her and her parents, Dave and Regina, in DC. When we got to NJ, we were thrilled to see Auntie Diana and the AWESOME room she set up for Mason to sleep in. It was equipped with his very own crib, changing table and awesome jungle wall mural and decor. We absolutely LOVED it! He even grabbed his first toy on his play mat when we got there. We caught a quick video of it so check it out!!

Within the first 24 hours, Mason met Mamma Haber, Aunt Sarah, Dana, the Montellas, Great Grandma Gebby and part of the Valente clan at Great Aunt Rose & Uncle Cos's house. We made sure to get some quality time in with Aunt Christina, Uncle Mike and Mase's cousins Jack, Katie and Allie.

We spent a day with Aunt Rachel and also took Mase to Princeton for dinner with the Leibs and Sabinos and even had some time with The Levinsons just a few days before his new friends Sami and Reece surprised us by making their debut a few weeks early!

We ended the week with a visit with Aunt Sarah, Uncle Juan and Miss Olivia and then a visit to Mulligans with the Philips'. GaGa and Pop Pop hosted a "Meet Mason" soiree so the Loefflers, Sciancalepores, Gadaletas, Valentes and Haddocks got a chance to hang with Mase before we headed back home to NC.
