Leah's First Airplane Trip!

Last week, Leah and I went on a mini-vacation down to Florida. We went to visit my friend Erin and her family. I figured since I was on maternity leave, it would be a good time to go on a vacation and what better place than Florida in the middle of summer? Okay, maybe FL isn't the best place to head in June, but that is where Erin is, so that is where we went!

It was Leah's first flight, and she was amazing. She mainly slept, but woke up for a little while to eat and look around. She was so curious and interested in everything in the airplane. She was really interested when we went into the bathroom to change her diaper. She was looking all around with huge eyes, it was very funny. After checking out the plane and the bathroom, she fell back asleep. Good girl!

She was so interested in what was going on in the plane.

We were there from Tuesday to Friday. Erin has a one year old daughter, Reagan, so the four of us made a good team while we checked out Orlando. We went to an indoor play place, had lunches at Five Guys Burgers and Tijuana Flats (both AMAZING!!), checked out IKEA (my first time!! It was fantastic!!), went walking with her mom groups and went to her girl's night. And most important, we talked non-stop. One would think that talking non-stop for three plus days would lead us to run out of things to talk about, but that was definitely not the case. Almost as soon as we left to go through security in the airport, I thought of about 10 things I had meant to tell Erin, but forgot! I guess that is what more than 20 years of friendship will get you! It was a great visit and I feel so lucky to have such an amazing friend!!!

Reagan, saluting me? No, actually she was waving and I just caught her hand in a funny place when I took the picture. She loved bouncing on this zebra!!
She also loved snagging Leah's burp cloths and playing peekaboo.
Leah and Reagan - they were both so interested in each other. Leah always had her eye on Reagan, and Reagan learned a new word, baby, while we were there.
