Fort Worth, Texas

September 6th - 8th:

Tyson went on his first plane ride this weekend!  We loaded up and headed to Texas for Nick's cousin, Tony's wedding.  When we decided to travel with a newborn, we both underestimated how much planning and preparation there would be!  It was a lot different than just traveling with the two of us!  We did a great job being all ready the night before, considering that our flight took off at 7:10 am.  It was a good thing that we were so prepared because my alarm was set too quiet and we slept through it!  Nick woke up in a panic and we rushed around then raced out the door with just enough time to arrive at the airport on time.  Going through security was a breeze and I was really worried about Tyson being fussy during the flight; however, he was awesome!  In fact, I think he was loving flying because for 8 hours, he got to nurse and sleep, nurse and sleep, nurse and sleep while being held all day long!  I was surprised that he slept through everything. We stopped in Denver, changed planes and then stopped in Amarillo but continued on the same aircraft to Dallas.

Once, we arrived in Dallas, we got our rental car and then drove an hour to Fort Worth.  We met up with Dennis, Charlie, Terri, and Kevan at the famous, Joe T. Garcias Mexican restaurant.  It was delicious!  Then we headed back to Charlie and Terri's house to visit for the evening.  We were both tired so we headed back to our hotel, the Quality Inn, which was actually pretty nice.  However, they had ran out of pack and plays, so at 10:30 pm we switched rooms and got one with two queen beds.  Tyson had a queen bed just for him!

On Saturday we didn't have any plans except for the wedding, so we took our time walking up and enjoying our happy baby.  Tyson was so cute and smiling from ear to ear at Daddy!

We enjoyed the continental breakfast and then head to the American Airlines Museum near DFW airport.  It was a great museum and cool to see some of the parts of an airplane close up!  I got a picture of Nick and Tyson are next the turbine engine, and then Tyson and I standing by the small landing gear on the nose of the aircraft. 

That evening we got dressed up and headed to the wedding.  The weather was perfect and the wedding was beautiful.  I wish I would have taken more pictures but I was a little occupied with Tyson.

On Sunday morning, Tyson was so happy and loving interacting with Daddy.  I was excited to capture this cute smile!  In fact, this is his first genuine smiling picture . . . no just a gas or full belly smile.

After enjoying lunch with Dennis, Charlie, and Terri we headed back to the airport for our trip home.  Once again, Tyson did amazing!  All and all it was a very successful trip, Tyson is quite the traveler!
