Boys and Planes

The three of us survived Declan's first plane ride. I almost cried a couple of times because of

• the pouring rain that soaked everything including Declan
• the cabbie who concocted some story about why he couldn't take us to the airport
• the hour and a half ride cab ride where Declan cried and the only thing that soothed him was singing Silent Night

Once we finally arrived at Newark we started to have more fun. We had a great dinner as a family in the waiting area. Then we were the very last people to board the plane and we sat in the very last row so we got to tote our cute baby through the aisle while our fellow passengers and flight attendents ooohhed and awwed (and probably also dreaded his crying). Then since the flight was empty we were able to use Declan's car seat and he slept during the entire 4+ hour flight. 

We love him for being such a good traveler. Guess he loves travel just as much as his mama! (see Happy Traveling)
