On the Road Again.... part 2

From Florida, I flew with the girls by myself to visit my parents in St. Louis. First time flying by myself with the two of them and I wasn't sure I wanted to step back onto the plane to fly back home. It was a little rough the first time around. Hannah had her own seat and was pretty good. Caroline, well Caroline was her usual energetic self (a jumping bean) except on an airplane which was a little challenging -- but we made it and had a great trip to St. Louis. We visited the Magic House with my friends, went the St. Louis Zoo and got to ride the choo choo train which was VERY exciting!! We saw lots of friends and family including Grandma Julie, Aunt Rita and Uncle Wayne and all my cousins who live there. We even made it to Mount Vernon, IL to meet my friend Kate and her little boy Mack halfway. It was great to see them since it had been 3 years!! The weather was beautiful and we had a great time. Thanks to my sister Katie coming up with the "airplane" game -- we had to pretend we were on an airplane almost every night -- our flight back home went great which I was very thankful for. We are back home safe and sound and happy to have seen everyone and happy to be home!!

On the Road again...

Since Hannah once four months old, we decided it was time to start traveling again. It had been almost 6 months since I had been on a plane (nearly a record for me!) and so we were ready to go. First, we flew to Florida to visit Trent's family. The girls did great on the flight out and Trent was there to help me which was wonderful. We had a great trip visiting Gaga and Papa. We went out on their boat a number of times and Caroline even had her first experience being towed behind the boat with Daddy and a boogie board. We went to the beach, the pool and the Palm Beach Zoo spending as much time outside as possible and in the water as much as possible!! We were able to see our newest nephew Dean and see cousin Abby and Uncle Tye and Aunt Kelly. What a great trip we had!!
