We just got back from a great mini-vacation down in North Carolina. So many firsts for Noah… first plane trip, first time in N.C., first wedding… the list goes on and on.
We headed out to Boston on Thursday afternoon to catch our direct flight to Charlotte. Before Noah, Dave and I traveled with a carry-on and laptop bag each.. for this trip we had two suitcases, a stroller, car seat, pack n play, laptop bag, purse and diaper bag. Oh my! Noah was an absolute angel the flight down. He slept in my arms, ate and was generally happy.
On Friday, we left Noah with our dear friend, Tia, while we we did a little house hunting in Charlotte. We saw lots of homes in several neighborhoods, but didn’t find “the one” yet.
Next on the agenda was heading out to Asheville to celebrate the wedding of our friends Jaymie and Brad. It was a perfect fall weekend out there and we had a blast hanging with our friends and introducing them to Noah. He was a champ at the wedding and actually slept in his carseat while we ate dinner. On Sunday, we enjoyed coffee with our friends before heading back to Charlotte for a quick visit with Tiff and Lauren. Monday was filled with client meetings before we headed back to the airport. Noah had another good plane ride home, a little more antsy than the first one, but nothing to complain about. We had a fabulous time in our old city, which may become our new city once again (fingers crossed!)
Who knew this adorable little person would require so much “stuff”?!
Noah thinks we should get a king size bed, just like the hotel had.
The setting for the wedding was absolutely beautiful!

Noah seems to be hiding, but I had to include a pic of Jaymie’s beautiful dress!

Noah had his own place setting, complete with an apple butter wedding favor and champagne flute. I made sure neither were wasted!
