Last weekend, we made a big trip up to Boston/Woburn to see everyone. We had such a good time that this will need two posts to describe it. This first post is all about the terrific time we had with family.
We started the trip with a Saturday morning flight. The hardest part was getting all our stuff (two suitcases, a duffle bag, our backpacks, two carseats, two babies, two adults, and a stroller) through security and then onto the plane. Poor Eric carried most of the luggage and carseats and did most of the work, while I took the babies. He looked like a pack mule walking around the airport. Despite that, we made it onto the plane and Piper and Fletch did wonderfully. The fell asleep the moment the engines started and slept most of the flight.
Once we were in Boston and then made the trip to Woburn, the fun began. We spent much of the next two days just hanging out, with a few short trips in between naps. This included cuddling with Mom.
Taking group photos.
Getting everyone excited that we might have two walkers on our hands.
Playing with/torturing Kelsey.
Exploring the high chairs (why are these things so fascinating!?!)
We even got in a trip to two area landmarks:
Bickfords for some yummy pancakes
The Stone Zoo for some visiting with the animals you don't get to see at the National Zoo.
And a short stroll around the lake in Wakefield
All of this added up to lots of family fun. I love showing Fletch and Piper where I grew up and all the things I knew as a kid. Now, when will they be old enough for Hago Harringtons?!? The trip was perfect, and a great way to break up our routine. We came back on Monday. Piper and Fletch did great on that flight as well. They are wonderful travelers!
