I'm leav'n on a jet plane

We made it to Utah. Hurray. It was a night mare getting to the plane. We had to wake the boys up at 5 Am and neither went to sleep on the 3 hour drive to Houston. It was rush hour when we got there, so tons of traffic. Corbin got car sick all over himself and the car seat. It was terrible. We made it to the airport with time to spare but there was NO parking to be found. We had to drive around for almost 45 minutes trying to get a spot along with a dozen or more cars. We were lucky to snag one that was just leaving. Then Carter had a massive blow out. At least we had a change of clothes for both boys.

Flying by myself was not too bad. In our last minute of desperation we bought a portable DVD player. What a lifesaver for anyone traveling with a toddler. He fell asleep in the second movie.

Carter was really excited and very active. He would not hold still. I lucked out by getting them to leave the seat next to me empty. Carter loved sitting in his own chair. He was so tired but he just has a hard time falling asleep without his bed. I had to buckle him onto my lap with the sling and he finally fell asleep. They were both still asleep when we got to Utah.All things considered I think traveling alone was a success.
