Or, I should say, we went to North Carolina a month ago (already!) for Grandma Coble's retirement party. She retired from Duke University after 20 years. Pretty unbelievable to work somewhere for that long (at least to me who changed jobs every year or so)! She might have started a trend, since my dad retired from Frito-Lay after 25 years. Greener pastures are ahead!
This was Evie's first plane ride. And Mommy and Daddy's first plane ride with a baby and her absolutely ridiculous amount of stuff. Evie was a pro and we didn't do so bad either. Security was a little nerve wrecking and hectic, but we managed as every other parent who has traveled with a baby has done. And, because we flew Southwest and I am convinced they are the absolute best airline out there, they let us use her car seat in the plane because there were extra seats available. She basically slept through the whole thing and only whimpered a couple times. Not too shabby! There are an obscene number of pictures on here, so I apologize!

| Adios North Carolina |

Happy, and tired, girl in her car seat.
Thankful no one is holding her for a while. |
 |
Until Mom got her hands on her!
Although, if she's getting food, she's happy to be held! |
 |
Stretching the legs a little after the bottle.
Ready to get back in her seat. |
It was a good, but quick, trip!
