Friday the 13th- we should’ve known.

When we booked our trip, to Ohio we intentionally chose a direct flight around Jackson’s nap time to ensure a smooth trip. But a smooth trip was not in the cards.

First, we got stuck on the Mass Pike behind 4 accidents, which meant that we missed our flight. So we rescheduled our flight, which, unfortunately had a connection. Both flights were delayed. To top it off, on the second leg we sat on the runway for 30 min to find that we were only #26 to take off at that point! Also on that flight, Jackson had a blow out and screamed when he had to get changed on the table that was – no joke- half the size of his body. Oh and Delta lost one of our suitcases, which had Jackson’s diaper stuff and my pumping stuff. We’ve had to make about 8 calls to track it down– and we finally got it 28 hrs later.

Thankfully, Jackson was a champ! He was happy, bouncy and playful the whole 9 hours in transit (except for the diaper change). And he even slept in flight. Best baby ever to suffer a travel nightmare with. When we finally arrived at the Adu house, Jackson was greeted by welcome signs from his cousins and lots of playful playmates.

Logan Airport, just past security!

@ Logan, checkin out all the fun windows!

This little gem fell asleep before take off. Perfect.
