Well, it seems like my main catalyst for an update is Owen's birthday party. And I promise I'll get to that because they're always so fun to talk about, but first, I neeeeed to write about our travel adventures. Not like the vacation part, but the actual travelling to get there. Because maybe something that I've learned will come in handy for the .3 people who read this!

| The packing struggles are real... |
Plus I've been meaning to do this for over a year now... good thing I have some drafts saved and took some pictures so I can remember how it was at the various ages!

| The only people who look at these... first time fliers and babies. |
We've taken five cross-country plane trips with Owen, who just turned 2 exactly a week ago! I think I'll go into detail about the different phases of plane travel with a newborn/baby/mobile baby/toddler because they are all VERY different. Our trips so far have been:
- October 2012 - 2 months old to Ohio
- July 2013 - 11 months old to Mississippi/The South
- August 2013 - a year old to Ohio
- November 2013 - 14 months old to Ohio
- April 2014 - 20 months old to Washington DC
- July 2014 - 23 months old to Ohio

| At the "airplane house" looking at the airplanes and waiting for food. |
And we've done an actual road trip along the California coast when he was 9 months old in May 2013. That in itself deserves its own because travelling in a car is a ton different than packing for a plane, as I learned.

I plan on posting about the newborn travel stage tomorrow, so hold me to it! And if you have any questions about anything, let me know so I can include them in with my entry! :)
