We traveled to Virgina via Chicago for Thanksgiving. My husband, Phil, and I took our daughter Isabelle as a lap baby. She's 18 months old.
She screamed almost the whole way to Chicago and wouldn't sit still. She kept kicking and pushing the seat in front of us and finally slept for about an hour of the 4 hour trip. Then she wriggled and cried to Richmond too.
Being at my brother and sister in-law's house was nice. They were greats hosts and we had a lot of fun. Isabelle had fun rearranging their gourds on their hearth and we all had a good time.
We came back to Seattle via New York's JFK and it sucked too! The trip from Richmond to NY was ok and Isabelle even slept for about 3 hours to start our trip back to Seattle, but then she threw up all over Phil and me and it was gross and we had to sit in it and oh, icky. She ruined my brand new shirt and we stank the whole way home!
From now on, everyone's coming to us for the holidays!
