Harlan's Home: Leaving on a jet plane!

We had an absolutely amazing time in California over the last few days! I have tons of pictures, videos and experiences to share and rather than overwhelm you with the whole trip in one post i will spread in out over the next few days. I will start right at the begininng. As most of you know, i was more than a little anxious about taking little man on an airplane. I just didnt think he was quite at the point where he would understand that on the plane it was appropriate to sit and play quiet games with Mommy and Daddy. I have learned yet again, that I should really give this amazing child way more credit than I did. He was fabulous, and really the flying with him was quite enjoyable! He really seemed to enjoy landing and taking off from San Jose. There when we departed and boarded the plane, we actually walked down steps onto the tarmac then through a tunnel to the door. Nothing like getting to see the outside of the plane up close and personal!

Leaving at 2AM Our journey begins :)

Anytime is the right time for ELMO

Chillin with mickey on the plane

Magna Doodle was a hit!

So were the window shades:) He is looking out over the mountians in california! They were breathtaking

Daddy time

Chapstick is always a great distractor!

The flights home were equally enjoyable! Harlan was able to get some shut eye in, and we lucked out and scored the ONLY empty seat on a very full flight for little man! It made it alot nicer that he had his own space to claim and play in. Although he did end up asleep on Mommy, but trust me i didnt mind. It has been a long time since little man curled up on my lap and fell asleep. Nope didnt mind it al all!
They dont give out wings to little fliers anymore, but we were able to purchase him his own little plane, a souvenir for his first ever plane trip.
