First Family Flight

On December 23rd, we ventured on our very first family trip via airplane. Our first flight was from Boston to D.C. We boarded the plane, was told we should arrive 15 minutes earlier than expected, and then were delayed for an hour! It was awful just sitting in the runway, but what made it worse is we almost missed our connecting flight. We literally boarded the plane with 5 minutes left. Then, we were delayed for about 15-30 minutes. Damian was such a good baby on the trip. He didn't even fuss! I was really worried that the pressure would bother him, but we made sure he was drinking from his sippy cup or was being nursed. I was so proud of him!

When we finally arrived at Sea-Tac my Grammy was there waiting to pick us up. We were waiting for our luggage at the baggage claim only to find it wasn't even on the plane! It wasn't due to arrive until four hours later. United gave us a loaner car seat and we ate at Fuji Restaurant in Chinatown and then shopped at Uwajimaya. When Pat and I saw our baggage when we came back I think we literally jumped for joy!

We are so happy to be home to see our family and friends for Christmas and New Years.
