So far we've been to DC to see Brian, Tara, and Mia (Chris' brother's family) ; and Chad and Megan (old good friends).
Now we're in Charlotte, NC where we're staying with Don, Koby, and Alivia (Amy's oldest brother's family), and we've seen Grandma and Grandpa B. So far the visiting has been wonderful and the travel pretty terrible.
Anya has been awesome, so we can't really blame her for it. She very diplomatically walks around the airport waiting rooms charming people and making friends before the flight so as to lessen their annoyance should she have a rough go of it. But she's slept pretty much every time we've gone more than 20 minutes to anywhere.
The 5 1/2 hour layover in Detroit starting at 5 am was the worst so far. Anya wanted to walk all over and say hi to everyone she saw so we had to take turns sleeping on the floor.
Amy had the double whammy of a very painful decent in Detroit due to a cold, and a very squirrelly decent into Baltimore that activated her motion sickness.
Every time we drive anywhere over the last couple days it has dumped rain, which makes driving a little precarious.
Now to top it all, Anya is having an immune response to her measles vaccine and is breaking out in the most startling rash you've ever seen (provided you haven't had the measles yourself). It keeps getting worse and we have to remind ourselves it is totally expected. But there is something built into parents that makes them anxious when their child is covered with pox of any sort. She doesn't seem to mind at all. But I'm here to tell you it's FREAKY looking (photos will be posted upon our return).
Still, we're very glad to be here and are having a wonderful time of it.
