Connecticut!

Just a little update this morning. To begin with, we're in Connecticut! We left early afternoon on Thursday- about two hours after my last final. On the way to the airport, we got stuck in the crazy traffic on I-15 north that was caused by the semi/5 car accident. Thankfully, Craig's dad knew some other routes other than the interstate to get us around the traffic and to the airport exactly 1 hour before our flight. Craig was concerned about us hauling a baby, baby car seat, three checked bags, a rolling carry on, diaper bag and large backpack through the airport. He obviously has NO sense of adventure! Instead of attempting that, we used skycap even got our boarding passes (including Sophie's) right outside of the car. Amazing? I think so. I have been pretty apprehensive about going through security as I have a pretty strong opinion about TSA's new equipment and screening procedures. Craig was just worried about getting through in time. Luckily, neither one of us had any reason to worry about anything. We didn't have to wait in line (there really wasn't one!), no one harassed me about having a baby, no one harassed Craig about his request to have the formula and milk examined rather than be x-rayed and surprisingly enough, the TSA employees were actually as helpful as they were allowed to be.

The biggest bump in our day came in the form of some slight delays in and out of Denver but even those weren't bad. Sophie didn't have any problems flying. She wasn't interested in being woken up to suck on her pacifier or anything during take off and landing. In fact, she was perfectly content to just be snuggled the entire trip. We did get a mild little fuss out of her when we were changing her diaper on our laps- she doesn't appreciate cold wipes on her little behind, but really, who does?

We are now settled in and attempting to get caught up on some sleep while grandma spends some time with little miss Sophie.
