I was terrified about taking several long plane rides with a 1-year-old who considers sitting still to be a form of torture, but I was blessed to sit next to wonderful, patient, child-friendly people and meet many Good Samaritans on my way. On a Southwest flight, one woman did make eye contact with me, ask if the middle seat beside me was open, and then say with great disdain as she reached my row, "Oh, you have a baby" before walking away. But she was the exception, thankfully.
And hey, I even got Aubrey to sleep on the plane! Aww, isn't she sweet?
And the airport provided many new distractions, which was helpful.
Where Aubrey got to try Oreos for the first time. Yum.
Cousin Colin even let Aubrey wear his jacket when she got cold!
And we hung out with some cute boys.
And Aubrey, despite having roseola while we were there (poor girl!), managed to do lots of laughing.
Next up was a visit to the McEuens in San Jose. While we were there, we of course had to visit the beach. It was Aubrey's first time, and she loved the sand.
It was also very windy (hence the face)...
And here are all of the cute McEuen boys with Aubrey!
A shot of Mommy's and Aubrey's feet. Awww. :)
Here's Aubrey's first time touching the ocean! It was a chilly day, so we only dipped her little feet in.
The last stop on our tour was Grandma's and Grandpa's house in San Diego.
We got to visit the zoo and see the animals:
And even pet some!
The goats were all fine and good, but one fluffy sheep sent Aubrey into hysterics. Go figure.
We also had lots of fun just playing outside at Grandma and Grandpa's house. The warm weather was such a nice change from all the snow and cold we left in Massachusetts.
And, of course, Aubrey got showered with affection by Grandma and Grandpa.
She loved being the center of attention. And we can't wait to see everyone again in August!
