Tucker's Travels...Part 4: Washington State

Landing in Washington just a few days shy of his four month birthday, Tucker was excited to meet a bunch of new people.  He had met and fallen in love with Jordan's family, now it was time to meet mommy's family!

Here are a few pictures from the trip, and there are some on the next blog-uploading issues (there may be another blog when I get pictures from my family).

Tucker's Travels...Part 3: First Flight

From Midway to Seatac-Tucker was flying nearly 4.5 hours with mommy.  Southwest was wonderful (great flight attendants) and we had all three seats to ourselves! The little guy pretty much slept through the flight so it was fairly uneventful (thank goodness!).

Tucker's Travels...Part 2: Chicago

The windy city was beautiful.  Tucker loved spending time with his Grandaddy and Mia while checking out their new place....here are some pictures!

Through the trees you can see The Bean

The Blackhawks were in the finals

Tucker's Travels...Part 1

So...Crazy Summer? ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY! Tucker may only be five months old (his four month and five month posts are coming) but this kid has traveled to 8 states! He has been on a road trip half-way across the United States and flew the other half of the way.  This mom was a little anxious but it turns out, we've got a terrific traveler on our hands (and I will choose to fly Southwest ANY time in the future if I can when flying with kiddos).

Itinerary:

June 8th-10th: School is out for the summer! Darlene (Jordan's mom, Tucker's Mia), Jordan (in a separate car), Tuck & I headed to Atlanta.

Here we hung out with Jordan's family-they finally got to meet the little guy!

June 11th: Darlene, Tucker and I left the booming city of Atlanta to head up to Salem, Illinois to visit the other side of Jordan's family.

This road trip was a little lengthy but Tucker was a trooper (along with Daisy and Calli in the back of the car). We made a short stop at the Daily Planet where Tucker was able to show his true identity...Super Baby!!

Next Stop:

June 11th-13th: WE MADE IT! Salem, Illinois.  Tucker and the older people hung out for a few days with the family and then it was time to head to the big city of CHICAGO.

About an hour away!

June 13th and five hours later-Chicago! We made it, Tucker was a trooper and the fun was just beginning!
