Trip to Boston

Michael and I went to Boston this past Friday to visit Nana and Pops before our Summer Vacation was over. I was so excited to go! I love Boston and the weather was suppose to be nice and cool, a bit humid, but nothing compared to the Texas heat! Unfortunately, Michael picked up a stomach bug the Monday before our trip. I thought it would be fine by Friday, but it wasn't. He was definitely better, but not my normal happy baby boy! I heard from so many people to give him Benedryl on the flight, so easy and he would knock right out. Oh no sir! Michael had other plans! He fought his sleepiness and ended up screaming the entire flight, only to finally knock out for the last 30 minutes, 3 hours later- To top it off, he was up the entire night crying every hour to hour and a half. I called poor Geoff crying that I did not know what to do and maybe we should just come home. Fortunately, Michael turned into his old self by the next day and we ended up having a FABULOUS time! We went on walks, the weather was in the upper 70's in the morning, Michael played in the baby pool (which wore him out!), and we went shopping- to sum it up, it turned out to be a fun and relaxing weekend!
Nana had everything we needed to keep Michael entertained! She found a jeep exersaucer that he loved and she still had the highchair she used when Geoff was a baby- I had to take a picture of Michael in it (he is such a ham, he now smiles for the camera:).
On our shopping trip in downtown Wellseley, we came across the same kind of lovies that Michael sleeps with, however, they were the blanket size lovies! I showed it to Michael and he got so excited, he had his arms outstretched grabbing for the blanket, I gave it to him and he immediately snuggled up with it and would not let it go. Needless to say, we now own it, along with a couple new back-ups for the future:)

We said our goodbyes on Tuesday and flew home, Michael was perfect on the plane ride home and Geoff was so excited to see his lil' man when we arrived. It took Michael a little bit to get excited to see him too, he was a little out of it when we got off the plane:) We had a great trip and can't wait for our next adventure! However, next time, Geoff will be traveling with us! Traveling with a baby is no easy task!
