Jacob's vacation week started off by him visiting New Orleans to visit some close friends from residency. They had a great time catching up with each other and watching football. That Wednesday after he returned, we headed off on our first "big-time" vacation with Charles and a few of his necessities - a jogging stroller, pack and play, booster seat, car seat, and toys. The occasion? We went to visit Jacob's sister and brother-in-law before they leave Chicago next year. Charles was a champ on the airplane - he was content with milk, books and fellow passengers who were willing to entertain him. Thankfully he only discovered that he could stick his hands between the seats and someone behind would play with him toward the end of the flight.
We had so much fun and the weather was great. We visited the Hancock Building, ate Chicago-style pizza, walked around Univ. of Chicago's campus and Lake Michigan, and watched the Dawgs beat Kentucky. We even had a double date night sans Charles! It was so nice be all dressed up and completely involved in adult conversations. Overall, the only glitch was the airline losing our car seat on the way back. It made it home that same night. Not too bad for a first time traveler, Charles!
