Florida Part 1: Plane rides and Mimi meets! *archive


Over the Summer we planned on taking a trip down South to visit my parents who had not yet been able to meet Olivia. Shane is amazing on a plane and feels at home very quickly. This was Daddy's 2nd trip out to Florida and 4th time on a plane and I think he was feeling less anxious, especially with such a fun distraction as our sweet Baby O. And speaking of the baby, she was amazing! Slept practically the entire time. Daddy was a gem and gladly took on diaper duty, where apparently there is a tiny changing table somewhere inside the tiny airplane bathrooms! One of the Flight Attendants had a little boy Olivia's age and it was her first day back at work and she just fawned over Olivia!!

*warning picture heavy post.

We generally get to the airport a couple hours early, but this time our plane was delayed an additional 2 hours :( So there was a lot of this...

And this....


And then there was a tour of the various shops. One was a particular favorite.







If only Shane was allowed to live everyday this way.


This was the wonderfully FA who Olivia was kind enough to give her sweet cuddles for a Mommy recharge.


After a long delay landing us in around 2am EST Mimi finally gets to meet her first granddaughter.



They are both so very exhausted! Let's get home and go to bed!


We of course came baring gifts from a few N. CA local wineries, Coffee, Candy and Salami.


I don't know what it is. When I lived here, for years I couldn't stand DD and I didn't get the fuss. But know that I am older and it isn't around the corner, I totally get it. Every day that I am in town ;)


Testing the (salt) waters.




Cousin time!!




All a Mama needs, a little sun and watching her babies having a great time.
