we have had a whirlwind of a summer...starting with a trip to Chicago in late May, a drive to Arizona in early June followed by a flight to Chicago and finally a flight back to San Antonio 27 after leaving. This mom was ti-ired.
I feel as though our children are only 3 and 1, they are professional travelers. Most of our travels to see our family in Indiana involve just the three of us and we make the most of it every step and mile along the way. M is a little tricky on planes as he is still a lap child and is wild trying to climb over his brother, sit with his brother, poke his brother in the face.... Thankfully, he is also our child who likes to cuddle so when he's tired, he is pretty comfy on his momma. I, on the other hand, try to find a balance of savoring these sweet moments and seeing if i can read a book, magazine, or the the airplane safety guidelines with one hand to tr
y and pass the time.
G is a breeze. He loves his snacks, stickers, books, and of course, his portable dvd player....and I will admit that I love it, too. He does not, however, love when our flight is delayed and we arrive in Chicago at 2:30am and he has to walk across the entire terminal because I can't hold him and push the stroller. While I'm still annoyed that Midway put us at the very. last. gate. I will be buying a double umbrella stroller before traveling again even though we will probably never need it.
While I'll never be able to write about all of the beautiful memories we made along the trip, there are just a few to cover here....in reverse..oops..
Best. Parade. Ever!!!
First treat from the ice cream truck
Definitely not his first treat from Dairy Belle
Two monkeys in Flagstaff
While he wanted to go up the mountain, we figured it best to just enjoy the scenery.
Maybe when he is four.
Celebrated his 18 month milestone on the road to Arizona...
Had to take the same pic he took with the big bro..who wasn't too happy to not be included!
