Yesterday was the big day, our flight to Boston on Jet Blue. Everyone did their best to cooperate. Lila didn’t pitch a fit about putting her turtle backpack through the x-ray machine and Audrey managed to walk through to the security guard on her own. We were off to a great start. So, I thought we should reward ourselves with a beverage at the Varsity Grill. The girls had milk and I had Pino Grigio (come on I was traveling with two kids on my own and I deserved a reward). They colored and I relaxed until Lila spilled her milk all over my dress. From there things began to decline with a squabble over who would ride on Audrey’s Trunki. We settled on taking turns. Sadly this meant pulling each other and Audrey got over zealous causing Lila to take a tumble. I know what you are thinking, I thought this trip wasn’t terrible? Well, here is where a stranger stepped in and helped us to our gate turning things around and improving everyone’s mood. The girls and I managed to maintain our upbeat mood for the hour and half flight.

Of course the bribes didn’t hurt. I had two killer prizes the first is a Buried Treasure Chest with candy and treats, get them before they are all gone as they have sadly been discontinued. Boo! The other was a tiny backpack filled with Japanese erasers from iTasho. It took Lila almost the whole flight to open all 20!

Best of luck in your summer travels….keep us updated.
