Traveling with Children

Our traveling to & from Florida was very uneventful this year. Thank goodness. I don't know if that is because Trey & Tate have gotten older and they are easier to travel with or we just had a really good experience this time. Whichever--I'll take it, but it did remind me of some of our past travelling experiences.

Like the time we were in the Atlanta airport and Trey had just turned 3 & he was potty trained, but not for diarrhea. We made one trip to the bathroom in time, but we didn't make it for the second trip. It was the most disgusting thing you have ever seen. We had to throw the pants away in the garbage, thinking we would find some kind of Georgia sportswear to buy him. No can do though. He got on the plane in a diaper & t-shirt and I was then able to wrap him up in an airplane blanket. I took the airplane blanket home with us & have never questioned the way another parent had their child dressed again--cause I have no idea how their day has gone.

I think that it might have been last year that we sat across the aisle from the guy who fell asleep within 5 mins. of getting on the plane. You would think that he would be great to be near, wouldn't bother anybody---until he started snoring. He was snoring so loud that everyone on the plane was looking back at him. The young Spring Break kids got a kick out of him. When we finally did land & he woke up, Trey looked at him and said, " You know, you snore really loud." I had no idea he was about to say anything & we just started cracking up. It was perfect.
