Our family recently took a trip to Washington state to witness the marriage of my sister-in-law. It was the first time we had travelled with our 2 year old son and our 3 month old daughter. The thought of flying on an airplane for 4 hours simply terrified me, but God knew we would be just fine.
June 17th, my mother and father-in-law helped us load everything (including the kids) into the suburban, and we were on our way to the airport! Once at the airport, we unloaded and made our way through security! Ian did amazingly well! Clara just hung out in the carrier and surveyed the situation. We got on the airplane and within seconds of take-off, Ian was asleep! Whew!! I knew we would get at least 30minutes out of him. After he woke up, he played and watched "Little People" videos! Clara slept the whole way! We couldn't have had a more wonderful flight. When we landed in Washington, we made our way to the rental car lot, got the suburban and the vacation began.
Washington is the most beautiful place I have ever been! Ian was able to walk on the beach and see the ocean! He rode on a ferry and saw majestic mountains! My sister-in-law informed me that he thought the rocky beach looked like crumbs and the rest of the vacation Ian would ask to "walk on the crumbs!!" Too funny! He would later see his aunt get married on the beach of crumbs! The wedding was beautiful! It was ocean side and just gorgeous! What a beautiful bride and handsome groom!
We had a wonderful trip, and we made it home with everyone safe and sound. We reached an amazing milestone, and it was so worth making the trip!
