In late January, we braved the skies with two under two in tow (say that three times fast). We went down to SC to visit Bob's parents. The trip down went super because the plane was almost empty. Charlie had his own seat and enjoyed the trip immensely (as did his pet dinosaur, "Chops")
Amelia's first flight. We found out that they do still give out "wings" to kids on the airlines, but they were out...Amelia was a great passenger. There were a few stressful moments on the way back due to various factors: a sippy cup rolling down the center aisle during take off, running out of infant diapers after 2 diaper changes in the tiny airplane bathroom (who knew we'd go through more than 4 diapers in as many hours?), unison crying from both kids for about ten minutes, an overbooked flight...but we successfully took advantage of flying our two kids for free. We also agreed, we would never do it again.
It was wonderful to get to share Amelia with her grandparents who hadn't seen her since she was just a month old. Mia was a little under the weather all week with a very bad cold, but still found plenty of time to snuggle with Grandma and Gramps.
Charlie and Grandpa...and Chops.
The weather wasn't quite what we expected. Let's just say "unseasonably cold" down there isn't much warmer than the Rochester winter we left behind!
Charlie and Grandma had "picnics" almost every day. Charlie's favorite part was the cookie at the end! He had a lot of fun with Grandma.
We were so glad it worked out to meet up with some pals down South. Mark and Jenni Wright met us in Charlotte at Jill's house. Jill was my college roommate at RWC. She's an elementary school teacher, so she figured Amelia had time to fit in a story with Aunt Jill.
Here's Mark with his birthday girl who just turned one, Alexis.
