A couple of weeks ago for Labor Day, Gemma and I flew with my mom to Washington to stay with my aunt Suzy at her house on San Juan Island. Gemma was such a trouper! She's a natural born traveler. She did great on her first flight. We flew with Southwest and the plane was empty so we luckily got a whole bench to ourselves.
When we got to Seattle, we drove to a smaller, private airport where we loaded up into Suzy's plane to fly to the island. It's a little 4-seater, but the flight was so smooth!
Gemma liked the white noise and slept most of the flight. She spent some time looking out the window, too.
We stayed in Suzy and Dan's guest house and it was so nice and cozy. Very relaxing. Here's a picture of the view from the porch - heaven! Nothing like breathing in the fresh air, with a yummy cup of coffee and a snuggly baby wrapped in a blanket.
Gemma bunked up with me and she's never slept on the bed with me - she did great! Of course, we brought her baby straight jacket (AKA her swaddle) and she slept so well.
We had dinner outside at a restaurant in Friday Harbor and the view was spectacular. Dinner was delicious, too. Such a beautiful evening.
We went whale watching, but didn't see any whales. We did see some dolphins and seals. We also went to Roche Harbor and walked around there and in Friday Harbor. The last day, we strapped Gemma up in the Moby Wrap and went for a walk on the beach in front of the house. Beautiful!
A successful trip! Now, onto Gemma's next out of town trip...camping! Camping with Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Mitch at the Russian River.
