Mid-Winter Break Getaway!

Mommy was feeling adventurous in January and decided that her February midwinter break would be a good time for us to go visit Nanny in Oklahoma City, alone. She tried to claim insanity as the reason for our adventure but Daddy was only too happy to send us off to Nanny's house so he could revisit the days of his bachelorhood and have a no pressure Valentines Day. I'm not sure why we chose to visit a colder climate rather than enjoy our Spring like weather in the Pacific NW but it seemed like a good idea to visit Nanny since we didn't get to see her at Christmas this year.

Our flight from Seattle to Denver was non eventful until I decided dirty my diaper a few minutes before landing...then because we left Seattle late Mommy had to speed walk through the airport to catch our next flight. (I really think she could make the Olympic team next year with how fast she pulled me through the airport.) The flight from Denver to OKC was so turbulent that we had to stay in our seats the entire time. Of course you can imagine when we landed in OKC not only did I not smell fresh but I was also mad that I had to sit in that filth for an hour! I got Mommy back though, when she pulled me out of my seat to get off the plane she came away with a surprise on her sleeve, gross!

The first day at Nanny's we were greeted by a light snowfall and the arrival of the Sherman's from Dallas. Wayne and Blane have gotten so big since October. We all went to lunch at a Mexican restaurant in Bricktown and then were supposed to go to the park at the airbase but it was closed. So we ended our visit early and went back to Nanny's for naptime.

The next few days were very relaxing just hanging out with Nanny and Rachelle and avoiding the wind and cold outside. I pressed a lot of buttons at Nanny's house, which she wasn't too happy about, and chased Max and Buddy around the house.

Finally it was time for Mommy and I to head back home, our flight we found out at the last minute had been changed and so we spent 4 hours in the Denver airport. I learned how to climb up chairs and dive off them and that not all jetway doors lead home. After 3 hours I was ready to hop any flight Mommy would join me on. I cried most of the flight from Denver to Seattle but I had had enough and just wanted to get home and away from my dreaded carseat.

Daddy met us at the airport and was so excited to see us, I was a little bit scared since it had been a few days since we saw him. I slept so good in my own bed without Mommy complaining that I snored or kicked her all night.

We wrapped up the week with a trip to a new playground where I can climb up the stairs to the slides all by myself and chased a bunny who crossed our path. Overall I had a nice week hanging with Mommy and hope that I didn't misbehave too much so she'll take me on more adventures soon.
