Erin did fabulously on the flights, despite all my worrying. On the way up, she played about half the time and took a 45-minute nap during the rest of the flight. On the way home, the flight was delayed 3-1/2 hours due to "mechanical problems", but she did great in the airport and was only a little grumpy on the plane...since our flight ended up being 6-8pm instead of 2:30-4:30pm. Boston has a cute little play area that she really liked. She was in bed just after 9pm and was so happy to be home and in her own bed last night. She slept pretty well, and is catching up on all her toys today!
Anyway, we spent most of our time visiting and didn't really do much sightseeing. Bob and I have seen some of Boston already, and the weather wasn't exactly kid (or adult) friendly! We did get to see Tom and Pam's new house in Ayer, MA, which is beautiful. It's a great setting with lots of big hills and trees. Tom also took us to see his office, which is very nice. Erin enjoyed the free snacks and she really liked running around the office for some reason.
We had a great time, and the hotel worked out great too. The first night, we had an ex-smoking room, which we didn't mind, but we didn't want the tiny baby in there on Friday. So we switched to a better-smelling room. Erin got a little roll-away crib and slept fine in it. The continental breakfast was nice too, though Erin learned that she doesn't like grapefruit! She did get to eat lots of other yummy food though while we were there.
So, the trip was a big success. Poor Tom and Pam have a lot going on with a 3-week old baby and having showings on their house at the same time. They are handling it great though, and they are having lots of second showings, so an offer has got to be coming very soon! Unfortunately, we couldn't really wait to come with our new baby arriving, so we were there while they had all this going on. Hopefully we'll get back up there sometime soon with 2 kids (when we are brave enough to attempt the travel!).
