Micah's First Flight - ORD > MIA >TAM

Christian and I might have been slightly ambitious in planning our first vacation post-Micah at 9 1/2 weeks, but, here we are! We had been debating between San Diego and Orlando, and were swayed by knowing we could see Jeff and Liza and have them meet their nephew for the first time. So, using frequent flier miles, we booked our trip to Tampa with an hour layover in Miami. When we went to double check the times the day before leaving, we discovered the flight had changed causing a 3 hour layover instead. Ughh!! We were a bit apprehensive about the whole trip out, but I am so happy to say that Micah did amazing! He got a bit cranky boarding the plane at 10:30pm in Miami, but really, who could blame him? He had had such a long day and after 2-3 minutes of crying before take-off, was an absolute angel the rest of the time. He slept through the flight, baggage pick-up, shuttle to the rental car, drive to Jeff and Liza's, and finally woke up after being carried inside at 1:30am. Now we are just praying for the same great traveling on our way back home!
