A Trip Out East
This past weekend Kayla and I went to MA to visit my parents! My grandparents came from NY to visit us as well and meet Kayla for the first time! We had a blast! She got to go to her first soccer game (my dad's team) and was his good luck charm (they scored almost as many goals in that one game than they did in the entire season combined, and this was a team they had lost to earlier in the year!)! My mom was able to borrow all sorts of baby toys/items, so Kayla enjoyed the new scenery, plus having a bunch of extra eyes on her giving her attention! We also got to be there when the Red Sox won the World Series (truth be told, I was fast asleep on the couch when we actually won)!
I was a bit nervous about flying with her, especially since I was doing it alone. They certainly don't make it easy to travel with a child alone either! They made me take her (sleeping) out of the car seat to put it on the security belt and break down the stroller and put that on the belt too! Plus I had to take off and put back on my shoes! Thankfully, I had my sling, so I could have her in there while I had to do all of that! I understand why they make you do it, but still! At least people (workers and other travelers) were nice and often offered to help with anything if I needed it. She slept through 2 of the 4 flights, and really didn't cry much on the other 2. She fussed a bit, but only for a minute here and there and I don't think she annoyed anyone, which is good (not that there was anything I could do if she did)!
We had a really great time, but made us realize even more what a bummer it is that we live so far from our families. It was so fun to see everyone enjoying Kayla so much, and also nice for me to get a little break!
Here are some pictures of our weekend!!
