Tali took her first trip to New Orleans a week and a half ago and it went very well. We flew down for her Aunt Cara's wedding and then Tali and I stayed a few extra days to visit family and spend time with Gran and Grandpa.

The flight down was great! Tali slept in the car on the way to the airport, at the airport and on the plane. She woke up at the very end of the flight to eat but wasn't even fussy.

Tali slept in the hotel with us and got to experience the French Quarter and some of the pre-wedding activities (make-up with the bridesmaids and some pictures). The bridesmaids loved her and she got passed around from girl to girl. During the rehearsal dinner and wedding she had her first real babysistter and did very well. However, she slept horribly the night of the wedding and was terribly fussy the next day.

Her four day stay in New Orleans was very eventful. There were lots of visitors eager to meet and hold her. One visitor, a friend of mine from high school, arranged for me and Tali to have a professional photo shoot (photographer is a friend of his) in the French Quarter. It was a lot of fun and Tali was very good. We walked around for about 45 minutes and she was awake and happy the whole time! I'll send around pictures when I get them.

The flight back to New York was a bit more "fun." Tali woke up about 45 minutes into the flight and pooped! So I had to change her in the airplane bathroom where she screamed the whole time! Luckily, she didn't really scream at any other point during the flight but was awake for a bit. My mom (Gran) flew back with me and stayed a few days to help me get back into the swing of things.

Now we're back in chilly CT and eagerly awaiting spring.
