Vacation!

Wisconsin, here we come!  It's time to show Drew where mommy and daddy grew up, and for Evan to experience more of what our home state has to offer.  We made lists and packed, then shopped and packed again, and tried as hard as we could to make the trip easy on us and fun for the boys.  Hopefully we were successful!  American Airlines was also kind enough to start a new direct route from Charlottesville to Chicago, so we wouldn't have to do a layover.  That was wonderful!  The plane wasn't big, but that was ok - there were two seats on one side and one seat on the other, so it was perfect for us!  We bought an airplane kid harness so we wouldn't have to lug the carseat on the plane, and Evan got some spiffy new headphones to watch a movie in-flight. Drew was amazing and slept the entire flight - I would have bet money that he would wake and want to eat, but he must have loved the sound and feel of the plane's vibrations.  Evan did great too.  He was a little antsy after sitting for so long, but then we all were.  It didn't help that we arrived in Chicago about 15 minutes early and had to sit on the plane on the runway while we waited for our gate to clear.  He couldn't understand why we couldn't just open the door and leave.  When we finally got out of the plane, we cruised through to get out luggage, Evan and daddy went to the car rental while Drew and mommy waited outside and Drew got some dinner.  Then we all made the first required stop of the trip: Culvers!  Mmmmm.
