Leaving On a Jet Plane

So it's been a while since Mama and I have been on the blog, but we went on a trip to this place called the East Coast. We got back last Wednesday evening, were recuperating for a couple days, when Papa and I got sick either with some kind of flu or food poisoning...we're much, much better now and Mama and I finally have time to get back to all the video we took while we were on our trip.

So, in order to get to the East Coast we had to take this thing called an airplane. Mama says I'd been on one a few times before, but I was so little I don't remember it...and man! are there ever things to remember! Even though it was wayyyy past my bedtime, I was not tired at all! Did you know there were buttons and belts and slidey things on the windows? And THEN...when I had tried all those things out a few 100 times, Mama had packed a bag full of toys for me to play with. She didn't want me to have the crinkly plastic wrapped cookies that she brought for herself which was a bit of a bummer, but there was so much more in the bag that I barely noticed when she took them away.

Eventually, after a bottle or two I settled down to sleep, kind of. It was what Mama calls a red eye flight, so it was really really late, but all the seats in the airplane creaked everytime anyone moved and every time I heard a creak I kind of started half awake and then fell back asleep again. I don't think Mama slept much at all on our first flight, and I was too excited on the shorter second flight, but eventually we landed in Philadelphia where GranSmoky and Opa were waiting to pick us up. Mama and I were very tried all day Friday. We slept as much as we could because we were going to get up early the next morning and take a long drive all the way to North Carolina to the beach at the Outer Banks!
