Heading East...

We're on our way to the humidity of the east coast and the welcoming arms of our family. We have been looking forward to the trip for a while now and counting down the days on our calendar. As always, the kids can expect a true grandkids welcome with a house full of toys and I can expect to be pampered with nearly full-time babysitting. Home sweet home.

Sanjay has always been a little afraid of flying although he's been doing it since he was born, so I was curious how he would do on this trip. The first time we realized that flying bothered him, he kept repeating on take-off, "I'm busy, I'm busy" and we finally figured out that he was telling us he was "dizzy". The last time he was in the air was a year ago, but it looks like not much has changed. Once we are in the air, he's fine... but he doesn't much enjoy the take-offs or landings. On the final landing though, he managed to make it through the whole thing without holding my hand. During the descent he was so proud of himself, he turned to me and said, "I tried a sharp turn without you holding me". Things were different though at the beginning of the trip. Take a look at this video of our first landing in St. Louis.
