Ok, so here's what Stella and I are up to over the next couple of weeks. You may need to make a diagram to follow all of our plans (I know I need one):
Tomorrow, August 1, we are headed to Jacksonville, Florida to spend a week with the Valdez family and to meet baby Isabella for the first time! (this seems simple enough, right?) Well, we're flying out of Columbus, OH...so, we have a 2 hour road trip before we even get to the airport. Not a big deal? When you have a 5+ month old, it is sort of a big deal. To have a road trip and then a flight is a lot for a little one. So far she's proven to be a great traveler, but it's been a few months since we've flown. Anyway, for a 1:00pm flight tomorrow, we're planning on leaving the house by about 9am. So, we're in FL the 1st through the 8th. (which will be amazing, by the way!!!) We fly back to Columbus, drive home to Cincinnati for less than 24 hours, and then, we hit the road on the 9th for Dayton, OH. Why Dayton? Because we have a flight to Minnesota from there. We'll be in MN through the 14th (for my 10 year high school reunion!), fly back to Dayton and then drive back to Cincinnati! Oh and did I mention that Stella and I are doing all of the flying without Nick? I'm a bit anxious about maneuvering through airports, especially security without the assistance of another set of hands. Please pray that people are patient with me and the babe, as we will try to not disrupt every other traveler on those days. If you happen to be at one of these airports at the same time as us, we'll gladly accept your assistance and will extend an apology in advance if we inconvenience you in any way.
No, really...we're super excited about all that is to come. Just a bit overwhelmed at the same time. I plan on continuing blog updates while we're away...so be sure to check in.

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts as you journey with your little one. Don't you worry about bothering a soul while on your travels. With such a little cutie pie, I imagine everyone you encounter along the way will be happy to assist you. Best of luck and be sure to blog all about it with plenty of travel tips for us fellow clueless parents! ; )
