The trip to Michigan went well. We spent longer than planned at our layover due to mechanical problems and were disappointed to find that the DVD, Puppy Party, could not compete with the noise and sounds of the airport to keep G entertained. G wasn't interested in sleeping on the plane... until we landed. On both flights he fell asleep just after landing, but before deboarding. Once we arrived in Michigan, we picked up our rental car, finally got the car seat installed (after exchanging it for the correct one) and checked into our hotel room. I believe we got settled and into bed around 4 am!
We woke up a few hours later to spend some time with Morgan & Ada and Elliott & Rebecca! Then we were off to Schiller's wedding party! We had a great time hanging out with everyone, meeting Schiller's wife, Sarah, for the first time and lots of Schiller's family! Later that night we met up in our hotel room for some fun memories and convo. Of course there was some teasing, some grammar policing, and lots of funny stories! It was great to see everyone again! On Sunday we hung out at Schiller's and went to the park. Then we headed home.
The trip home was a direct flight - but boy was it long! G actually slept for a while, but woke up every 15-20 minutes squirming and crying. Usually he rocks and rolls all over his crib, so I'm sure the tight space on the plane (and in the Boba) wasn't his optimal sleeping environment. We got home Sunday night around midnight. A whirlwind trip!

G's First Flight
On the way to Michigan we were lucky to have the whole row to ourselves. G enjoyed having his own seat for a bit. He also spent lots of time in our laps and sometime scrambling back and forth between us. Really, whatever occupied him was fine with us :)
