Just wanting to write a quick note that Vince, my mom, and I made it to LA safe and sound yesterday. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to take any pictures on the plane, somehow getting the camera out and taking a picture would have just been too much for me at the time. Vince was great once we got on the plane though, he pretty much slept the whole time and only fussed when he was hungry or needed to be changed. The other passengers smiled at him and asked how old he was, and it was generally an uneventful flight except that my mom had forgotten the diaper bag back at the gate so she had to fight against the traffic of people getting on the plane (not a pretty site) and go rush to get the bag.
We thought we'd get to the airport super early so we wouldn't have to rush. Well that plan didn't work. JetBlue had only 2 people at their bag drop counter, and there were multiple flights going out so the line was almost an hour long! That marked the beginning of me starting to freak out. Mike stayed in line for me, I took my mom to the curb side check in hoping that would be faster for her... and then I stayed with the baby in the stroller until one of them was done. Luckily my mom did get through the line fast so she was able to stay with the baby while I waited in line for my luggage check, and Mike was able to hop out and get to work by 8am for some meeting.
Getting through security was a small miracle; having the baby (who decided to get fussy), a car seat, stroller, computer, diaper bag, backpacks... and a mother who refused to give up her coffee until that very last minute!
Luckily all the TSA staff had pitty on us and helped us out. They probably just wanted to get us out of the way but it made my life easier so that's fine. I feel ready to take on the next set of flights to Hawaii on Sunday, maybe even relaxed enough to take some pictures with Vince on the plane.
