I'm back!

I'm back from my big excursion and have a few pictures to post. But right now, I just want to tell you about my big trip. We left so early in the morning on the 20th, that I slept almost the entire way to Grandma and PaPa's. This was a blessing for mom. I did do great on the plane though, even despite the layover! No crying at all on ascent or landing and I did my best to charm all of the passengers with that big smile of mine.

When we got there, we had a long ride (2.5 hours) in the car ahead of us and I tried out a big girl car seat for the first time. I slept on the way to the house and appeared to love the car seat. Mom was thankful considering the same exact one was on the way to her house on the UPS truck.

Then I got to see everyone that I had come to visit! We had an eventful first couple days with great grandma, a trip to Aunt Trish's, another trip to a different airport (saying goodbye to great grandma was tough). Then, we finally got settled in at Grandma and Papa's.

Then, more fun. Visits from Grandma's friends. A pool on the patio! A team of fun-loving attention givers! Walks outside. Man it was hard to leave.

On the way back, we got delayed, on our plane for 1.5 hours. It was tough and mom wouldn't feed me but I managed. We all held out for that take off feeeding and I went right to sleep. Even with the delay, I didn't cry. The stewardess called me "the best baby girl in the world." Mom said that I was an awesome traveler!

We are home now and I'm on an entirely new schedule, but mom's adjusting. The heat is scorching and we have no shade for an outdoor pool. Walks are scarse because it's so hot and sunny. But, there's always the next trip to look forward to!
