Day 292

July 15, 2011

Travel day. Everything went so well, which is fantastic! 

We were trying to park in a park-n-ride and take the train to the airport but they don't allow parking for more than 24 hours. Totally silly because it's a great public transportation system and goes all the way out to the airport. To not be able to use it from the suburbs for vacations is a bummer. I called the comment line.

Anyway, the flight was long but really good. Jacob slept for probably two hours or so, which was amazing. Right in his little seat. 

Then we took the Marta train from the airport out closer to Mimi and Pop's house. That part got a little long and the boy was definitely losing patience. He did great, though. We finally got to meet them at the train station! Yay!

Jacob was so excited to be done traveling. He was chasing after Lucy, their dog. He couldn't even eat he was so excited. All he wanted to do was follow Lucy. It was very cute. After lots of energy release time, he finally made it to bed at 11:30, which is bed time, Portland time. 

We grownups hung out for awhile longer before finally heading to bed. We've had some unusually cool weather, this evening, so we were able to hang out on the screened in porch (probably my favourite place at their house). Ah, good times.
