I heart Boston

We made a quick trip to Boston last Saturday! We took our friend Ryan down and walked around. We went to the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art). Somethings were better than others. After we walked around down town, got a bite to eat at B Good an awesome Mass restaurant. I will say Boston with a baby child is totally different than walking around carefree like I did a couple of years ago. This time I was worried about the baby. Is he hot? Is he hungry? Is his diaper full? Why is he cranky? I imagine I will always have some concerns but hopefully they chill out a bit.

I got a pic from the day. Awesome. I like how small we are compared to the building. First family pic.

Thank you kind person . . . flying on an airplane

I feel very lucky. I have flown across the country alone twice. I always imagine an inconsolable baby with passengers taring at me as I frantically try to comfort my baby. Luckily I have been blessed with a pretty cool kid. He has flown 8 times already in his short life, and the times we were alone he did so well.

Thank you to my family for walking us to security. That totally made it manageable. Going through security - not too hard (knock on wood). We are in a routine. Sitting at the gate, there was a nice couple from Oregon who happily played with Harrison. It was so nice to hear other people dote on my child and he was pretty happy.

I got on pretty early on the flight and got the first seat on the Southwest flight. I sat by a tall veteran with bad knees from Bedford, NH. He was really nice and very understanding of Harrison soft grunts and cries. All the other passengers around us were very nice! Every cooed and smiled and all I can say is thank you kind people. You made a 4 hour flight great.

We are on our way to a whole new adventure!

Today is the day that Harrison and I get to move to Somersworth NH. I am so excited. Going foward I will start posting more here and on facebook so that I can keep in touch well with my family and friends on the other coast. This is a new adventure and I look forward to posting all of the lessons that I learn.

Well I am going to the airport soon and I will keep you posted. Hopefully Harrison has fun on the airplane.

Love you

Kate
