Airplane travel is like the forgotten level of hell that was left out of Dante’s infierno by mistake. What a nightmare it is getting through airport security with a baby (they tested every single liquid in my carry on – jars of baby food, sippy cup, bottle of milk etc…), then hanging out in the terminal because your flight is delayed, then hanging out on the plane on the tarmac because there is too much airplane traffic – and all this before you even go anywhere!! We got home at 10pm on Sunday. Maya was a little delirious and took 3 naps on Monday!
We flew to Chicago this weekend for Brian’s cousin Kristin’s wedding which was a lovely event. They had a sweet touching ceremony on the porch of an old estate in Oak Park outside Chicago and fun casual dinner inside this beautiful home, once a private home, now a historic building.
A really fun part of the trip was staying with Brian’s sister Lauren and her family who also live in Oak Park and Maya got to hang out with her cousins who she hasn’t seen since Thanksgiving. She was fascinated by them, and Noah and Anna always loving kissed and hugged her. Nathan only 5 months her senior had a little competition for his toys but overall they played well together too. We’re getting together again in a little over a week when we all fly to California for wedding #2. Cousin Anne-Marie on the other side of the family is getting married, and we’ve rented a house with the Breits in Laguna Beach. We’re spending the early part of next week in East Hampton before we leave Thursday (again, not looking forward to the airplane trip) – the first vacation time since I came back to work in February. Really looking forward to some chill time on the beach.
