First in Flight

By
Jack took his first flight Monday evening. He and I flew from Newark to Greensboro. All in all, he did ok. There was a bit of fussiness after boarding and during taxi. This escalated just after takeoff - yes, I was that parent with the screaming baby - a new role that I'd rather not repeat. Fortunately, he chilled out and fell asleep for the rest of the flight.

For those of you that are frequent fliers, the pilot allowed me to keep my iPhone during taxi, takeoff, and landing so that I could use this ambient noise app that helps keep Jack calm. (thank you Christian for introducing us to that app!)

Hoping that the return is even better!

Well yes, it was kind of cheesy because it was a family amusement park. But it was so fun. The place was very geared to families with young children. The rides are categorized by height so it's easy to know what rides your kids can ride. Jack tried several rides: big trucks, bulldozers, leaping frogs, the monorail. He even drove a car! He had a really good time. Spence was a good sport as there wasn't much for him to do. Maybe next year. Justin felt right ...
