Last weekend, I left Olivia at home with Spencer while I attended my cousin's wedding on the east coast. It was the first time that I've been away from Olivia overnight.
I had debated whether or not to take Olivia on the trip, and wow, am I glad I didn't. It was quite the adventure getting to the east coast. After a one hour delay taking off, another hour circling the Chicago O'Hare airport, and a jet landing with a collective sigh of relief, I deplaned to find out that my flight had been cancelled.
I saw many people in customer service lines with strollers or with brood in tow. Another lesson as a new parent -- to not book short trips if air travel is involved. Most of the families I saw at the airport were probably going to end up spending the night in Chicago. I was able to get a flight because I needed only one seat and I had the mobility to run around the airport and talk on the phone at the same time. I can't imagine dealing with a stroller, diaper bag, child that needed to be fed or changed.
I definitely missed Olivia while I was away, but she had a great time with Spencer.
