Noah's first airplane trip

Noah's first trip was a doozy. We flew from Orange County to Maine so that Noah and Grant could accompany me on a job interview in Bar Harbor, Maine. It is not easy to get to Bar Harbor, and we did 13-17 hour days of travel. Noah was perfect . He smiled and flirted with everyone on the plane, so when he got a little fussy (which wasn't very much) no one really cared. He also slept a fair amount and just did a great job. I quickly had to get over my germ-a-phobia as Noah insisted on chewing on the plane safety information card (which would literally send chills down my back because it is so disgusting) but he was very insistent on doing it and it kept him happy and quiet, so what else could I do.

Our brand new stroller, which we had bought to replace our previously stollen stroller, got stollen in the airport on the way out to Maine. Well, stollen or lost, but we checked it at the end of the gateway, and when we got off the plane it was gone. There goes another $150. I have no idea why people keep taking our crappy stuff. It wasn't even an expensive stroller brand. Another couple had a MacClaren, and somehow our cheap-o Kolcraft stoller is the one that goes missing. Anyway, Grant had to go buy a replacement stroller in a Walmart in Maine and it is terrible and I hate it. Plus, what is double sucky is that the stroller we had has been discontinued it so now I can't even get the same one to replace it.

Maine was beautiful and Grant and I really loved it. I'm not going to take the job, but we would have really loved to live out there.
