Trip Tuesday – long plane ride – peaceful landing – Feb 25, 2014

Today’s pic comes from our first ever family trip to Disney World back in early January 2008.  It was just my wife, son and myself as our daughter wasn’t born yet at this point.

Our son was only 17 months old when we took this trip and our flight down coincided nicely with his nap time.  He was young enough we didn’t need a seat for him and we held him for the flight.  We figured that since his nap time was going to be during the flight this was going to be an easy.

He had different ideas.  He wouldn’t sit still the whole trip, he wasn’t loud or crazy and there really wasn’t any crying but he was a major ball of energy for the whole flight.  As the flight continued we could see he was very tired, but still wouldn’t settle down.  Frankly it was exhausting.

It must have been exhausting for him too as he finally settled down – honestly seconds before the plane touched down.  This pic is the frazzled look on my wife’s face and the snuggled in little guy.  Ahh kids.
