munchkin's first trip

gram (my mom) decided to take mae and i for a girls trip to orlando.  just a week to get out of the cold va for a bit.  dad and cody flew down for the weekend to spend some time with us.  we had a great time!  i was to say the least a little nervous about flying with a 5 month old.  the whole time we were waiting for to board i felt like people were looking at me with my baby thinking..."oh great, we have a baby on our flight."  but mae did great (i can't say the same for the person who brought their lap dog with them)!  she pretty much slept the whole flight both ways, i was a very happy mama!

we had a couple of cold days, but we were able to walk outside everyday, and mae loved it.  it was so much fun to see her experience all these new sights and sounds for the first time. 

i'm pretty much the worst picture taker when it comes to vacation.  i always pack the camera and say this year will be different, but it never is.  so i really only got pictures of the last day.  we sat by the pool for a while, and i tried putting mae's feet in, but she was not havin' that.  (i'm chalking it up to the fact that she was tired, and still out of sorts from being toted all over the place).  so hopefully it was just a fluke, because we'll be swimming in gram and gramp's pool this summer!

we had a wonderful time, and are so glad that we got to spend time with gram and gramps.  mae misses having multiple people to play with and keep her entertained (and so do i!)
