In St. Lucia!

We have survived the travel to get to St. Lucia.  The adventure started at about 8pm on Wednesday, when we left our house.  The first flight from SEA to ATL went great.  MJ did a great job of eating and sleeping.  Not much trouble from the little one.  PJ was a little excited to be on an airplane so it took about 45 minutes before he could relax enough to fall asleep, but he did sleep.  Once in ATL we met up with G-Ma and Poppy.  We didn't tell PJ that he was going to see the G-Rents, so he was extra excited when he spotted them walking down the hall of the airport.
The flight to St. Lucia was a bit more challenging with PJ, but we used new coloring books, a magnetic doodle toy, a miniature skateboard for your fingers, a couple new hot wheels, some special snacks and a few new books to entertain PJ.   PJ only had one tantrum on the second flight, which we let him scream it out.  I think he was a little surprised that we let him scream instead of giving in, but ti worked no other tantrums after that.  Although our seat mates were not happy during the screaming moment; they were all praising us at the end of the flight that we had such good boys.
Glad we are done with that leg of travel and now on to vacation time!
