The hundredth day (Day 100)

Today, we were on an adventure. I mean, it’s only fitting that we commemorated the first hundred days of our little boy’s life with something special. My husband and I decided that we should spend another national holiday exploring Slovenia. We chose Bled and were super excited that we’d be taking Otto there for the first time. I know that it wasn’t the last.

With Otto, we’ve traveled to a couple of far off places before, but always to visit someone or to go to therapy. But never before just for the sake of traveling. Anyhow, we have figured out the best time to start our journey, and that is nine o’clock when Otto is a little drowsy for his first daytime nap.

Now that he’s little more aware, he enjoys watching through a window (although I believe he just sees passing silhouettes) before dozing off. He rarely wakes up if our timing of the travel is right.

It was the same this time. And he would’ve slept right up until our arrival, but we were in for a surprise some four kilometers before reaching our destination. While in traffic, we were the second car someone hit from behind. We were waiting at the traffic light and out of nowhere, someone drove too fast and wasn’t focused on his driving. No one got hurt and our car had no scratch, just the loud bang woke Otto up. He was in his car seat and didn’t even move when the car that was originally hit, hit us.

I said that if it was meant to be, it is good that it went down as it did. We exchanged information for the insurance and besides delaying our trip for some half an hour (and my husband having to go to the insurance company to see if anything was damaged and we can’t see), no harm was done.

Otto wasn’t bothered with what was going on. He seemed pleased that he got the opportunity to eat.

All in all, we had a good day taking the trip. We strolled by the lake, went for lunch, got the famous Bled cream cakes and created a wonderful memory despite a minor accident we were in.
