Heading home, what nap?, Shamrock shake, early bedtime

We were happy to spend a few more hours with the Andrew's family this morning before heading to the airport. Greg's cousins were there, so it was a little busy, but fun!

We had to leave the house at 9:30 AM, which is a little beyond the normal nap time start for Greg. We decided to keep him awake before departure and see if he would sleep in the car on the way there since it is a 45-minute trip. He finally fell asleep at 10:04 AM and we pulled up to the terminal at 10:15 AM. Eleven minutes of sleep! Oh boy...

After a cranky check-in attendant and an out-of-service elevator, the rest of the pre-board festivities went really well. We were able to skip the long security line and go through the short-wait family-only line - thanks Greg!

And the best part of the whole trip? Shamrock shake at McDonald's! YUMMY! They don't sell that flavor in North Carolina, so I always try to find it when I travel. Last year I was up north at the beginning of March and had one every day for a week. Greg was probably turning green in utero.
Behold, the Shamrock shake!

This was our toughest flight with Greg thus far. He was exhausted and would not fall asleep. He was not happy to sit still for long. Plus he had learned a new squealing noise and was glad to share it on the plane. It could have been worse, but it was not fun. We were all happy to land. He was asleep within about three minutes of getting in our car.

The dogs were very happy to see us when we got back. Greg went straight to his crib for a nap and Andrew worked from home. My brain was shot from dealing with a fussy baby on the plane, so I took it easy for a bit.

Greg's nap was only an hour, so he was still short on sleep for the rest of the afternoon. He went to bed early without complaint. We will all sleep well tonight!

There's the happy boy! (This would have been such a cute picture!)
