"The two-week trip was marked with firsts: our first diaper change at an I-95 rest stop (we came, saw, conquered, then laughed about it), Miles's first visit to a restaurant (Matunuck Oyster Bar, a Bon Appetit favorite), his first overnights away from our apartment in Brooklyn (in a Pack ‘n Play in my childhood bedroom), and his first encounter with my brother and sister-in-law, who had flown in from London to meet him."
