Our little trip

Ave and I arrived Friday evening in San Francisco! I was so proud of her during our trip (well, most of the time anyway) We left Little Rock at 12:15 and arrived in Dallas around 1:45. She did really well on the plane, I was worried she would get super bored especially since we had to keep our seatbelts on the entire time because of the weather (and also because we were sitting right beside the fligh attendant, and she was a seatbelt nazi) Our flight from Dallas wasn't scheduled to leave until 4, I know that sounds like it might be a long time with a two year old, but it gave us just enough time to eat, for Ave to play in the playplace, also for Ave to walk through the airport crying and screaming at the TOP of her lungs until we got to our gate (and ride a million escalators because that's her new favorite thing to do). After boarding the next flight, we sat for what seemed like forever! and it was HOT! apparently, they were having issues with the cooling system. Luckily, Ave fell asleep before takeoff. It was a three hour flight and she slept for almost an hour. She did really well on that flight as well. I suggest a big book of post-its ( those little yellow paper pads invented by those girls Romy and Michelle) and some twist up crayons as a good plane distractor for your child. When we arrived in San Francisco, we rode the BART to Concord where Billy picked us up. As I've mentioned earlier, Ave loooves choochoo trains! She was soo excited to ride it. We got to the camper, and ate a little dinner and crashed out! That was it for day one, here are a few pics: (and they're not in order, because for some unknown reason, I cannot move my pictures around!!)

Ave trying to semi-run away from her mommy at Dallas. She looks scared in this picture, it could have been due to the wierd marine guy who would NOT leave us alone, thankfully he sat six rows in front of us on the plane. and yes, i counted.
