Carter and I had such a fun trip to Austin.  Here is a quick recap even though it was over two weeks ago now…

First Flight 

After being sent off with lots of hugs and kisses from Daddy,  Auntie Jennie helped us make Carter and I get through security.  It was so nice to have her there to help with this for my first time - it wouldn’t have gone as smoothly without her.  After standing in line at Starbuck’s and then rushing to our gates, Carter and I chose our window seat and settled in on a four day old plane.  Yes, right about this point this new Mommy asked herself, “How do you plan to hold and feed a baby while keeping a hot coffee from spilling everywhere?”  The answer quickly came to me… drink it, and drink it fast…it was gone before we backed from the gate.  Carter was so great during the take off and only let out a few wimpers when the plane was descending.  One fellow passenger said Carter was “Good as Gold”.  We gathered our belongings and snuck up behind Grandmommy Harms at the baggage claim. 

Once all the baggage was in the car we were off and ready to start our four days in Austin.  We spent our time visiting with family, meeting new friends, had lunch with Aunt Natalie at Moonshine (YUM), attended two showers, and still managed to sleep until 7:30 a.m. on the morning of the time change.  Throughout the trip Carter’s schedule was off and tested and he took it all like a trooper!

Going Home

The trip home went more smoothly than the first.  He never even made a peep.  It was nice to visit, but we were glad to get home and see Daddy!
