We took a break from Northern Virginia this month to meet up with family in Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe for vacation. I do not recommend Vegas for little kids, by the way. It was fun, but a little too much stimulation for the boys. We were there for just a few days and I enjoyed my morning ritual with this little guy. He was up between 5 and 6am every morning (!) and we'd head down to the Starbucks in the hotel for breakfast. Coffee (iced, preferably) is a necessity for this mama. Thankfully, my parents are early birds too, so they usually caught up with us around 7am. Casinos are pretty slow this early in the morning so we generally had Starbucks all to ourselves. My Dad's not much of a baby guy, so I'm grateful to have these of the two of them. <3

This post is part of a collaborative documentary photography blog circle called Around Our Clocks. We're documenting a day in our life over the course of one year. This month was 7am. Continue the circle by visiting Heather Tully Photography to see her April image.
