Over the 4th of July weekend, we flew to Buffalo, New York for a friends wedding. The wedding was fun but getting there and back was not. We flew out around 8pm on the 4th which is usually when Alyssa goes down for the night. Since it was her first flight, she was too curious about what's going on. She did really well during the take off and landing but the middle wasn't so much fun for mommy and baby. When we purchased our tickets, we had selected for our seats to be together but for some reason, our seats got split up. I ended up sitting with Alyssa in the aisle seat, which was good for getting in and out without bothering anyone. Alyssa has always been on the move, she can't sit still for long so she wanted to get up and walk around. That wasn't too bad but during the flight home, I ended up sitting in a 3 seat row and by the window! That was horrible!! Alyssa started to get fussy right when the drink carts were coming by and I couldn't get out and the flight attendant was trying to help me calm Alyssa down but all she wanted to do was walk around. I was stuck in my seat and can see the people across the way giving me the eye. I have never felt so embarrassed to have a fussy baby. I'm already a pretty emotional person, but when I'm pregnant, I'm 2x more emotional. I was getting so upset and tearing up that I had to use my baby to hide so people won't see me cry. I was able to get myself together and the dad and his kid finally moved for me to get out of my seat to take Alyssa for a walk to the back of the plane to see her dad. I told Park, the next time we have to fly, we have to make sure we are sitting together. I don't think it would have been so hard if we had been sitting together.
That's the terrible part of our trip, now onto the more fun part. Late Saturday morning, our friend Andy (who's from Buffalo), took us on a little walking tour of downtown Buffalo. It was nice to be out in the city and walking around and doing something different instead of going to all the same places as we would do at home. After walking around for about an hour, we met with another couple of our friends for lunch. And afterwards, we all headed back to our rooms to get ready for the wedding. My cousin, who is also living in Buffalo, watched Alyssa while we attended the wedding.
The next day, we attended the farewell brunch and Alyssa was finally able to meet little Maggie. They were instant friends! It was cute watching these two cuties play together and holding hands and walking together.
Later that afternoon, we drove out to see Niagara Falls. Park and I enjoyed it but Alyssa was preoccupied by these little birds. She was watching them hop around and she was also busy saying hi and bye to all the other visitors.
Overall the trip was fun but I felt like I needed a vacation to recover from this vacation!
