Zachary earned his first set of wings this weekend when he and mommy went to Chicago! We got very lucky on several fronts when we left: it was a torrential rain and wind storm with every road leading to the airport flooded, but we made it just in time. The gate agent must have felt badly for the single mom traveling with her adorable baby and not only gave us the bulk head, but an extra seat for Zach as well (thank you Steven Webber at AA)!!! With a little assistance from fellow passengers, we got settled and Zach did great on his first flight - he ate, pooped, played and slept a little. We even landed in Chicago early, so there really is a first time for everything!
Over the weekend, we went to the cemetery to visit Zach's Grandpa Joe and Great-Grandma Faye, we met up with some friends and enjoyed the local specialties, including deep dish pizza, Dairy Queen and cheese fries. Clearly it was not a trip for anyone on a diet!
Zach met his extended family and his Grammy's close friends on Sunday when Grammy went a bit overboard with a catered party for him which included "Z" mini-cupcakes and way too much food.
All the while, Abby enjoyed some daughter/daddy (and grandparent) time, had her 3rd visit to the dentist and visited the Greenburgh Nature Center for like the 5th time this year. She and daddy also took Sadie for a much-needed grooming.
The trip home was pretty easy, though Zach was on my lap during it instead of his own seat. But we made it home in one piece and I realized how much easier it is to travel with a 5-month-old than a 3-year-old (which I never would have done when Abby was 5 months old)!
