Airplane Adventure!

The airport/airplane experience was quite interesting! It was really hard to watch my hubby walk away from me in the Springfield airport, and the airport security had to "pat" me down because I brought liquids for Phoenix to drink. I guess they thought I was smuggling some goods...

The first flight was weird because the airplane was tiny, tiny, tiny. Luckily Phoenix slept most of the flight, after he wrestled me and went down squirming! I was eager to get off that plane and get back on to the next one that would take us to Austin. ..BUT NO! We had a super long delay of almost 2 hours because of bad weather in New York, so Phoenix and I explored the Dallas airport. He loves to watch people pass by and flirt with anyone who will give him attention.

A few messy diapers and jars of baby food later, we finally got onto our final flight...only to hear the captain announce "It's going to be another 20 minutes before take-off, folks..." UGH! At this point Phoenix has missed his afternoon nap, wriggled in the airport for 2 whole hours, and we are squished between some very conservative people who didn't seem to enjoy my son's hands slapping their faces.

So we walled to the back of the airplane where- PRAISE GOD!- there was an entire row with nobody sitting there. So Phoenix had room to roll and grunt and play and it was wonderful. 32 minutes after take-off, we arrived to see Grandpa Ortiz! Let the fun begin!
