Lilah was an excellent little flier! She nursed during both take-off and landing (nursing helps their ears adjust to the changing pressure), and during the flights she either napped or played with Chris! We cruised through security with her in the pouch sling; we checked one bag and her car seat, and had only her diaper bag as a carry-on. We couldn't get over seeing other parents with babies in the airport with strollers, carseats, suitcases, bags, etc... They all looked miserable trying to navigate the busy terminals.
While in North Carolina, we went to a Durham Bulls baseball game (Lilah's 1st baseball game); that was really fun! It started to rain towards the end of the game, but we were able to quickly seek shelter until it stopped. Grandpa got Lilah her 1st baseball and case so that she can remember the game! We pigged-out on obligatory baseball junk food!
We enjoyed the break from the oppressive Houston heat and humidity! In Raleigh it was dry and relatively cool! Just down the road from my Mom's is a huge farmer's market; I am so jealous and would love to have something like that near us! We also had the chance to drive around the Yaw River Valley and visit three different wineries. It was so neat to visit small family-owned and operated vineyards. We tasted some very tummy wines! Here we are in front of some grapevines:
On Sunday, we visited a really neat old grist mill. It was raining so we didn't get to walk down to the actual mill, but the visitor center was beautiful and had some really neat stuff to see. We had a great time visiting with family and taking Lilah on her first of many vacations to come!!
