Vacation!

We were lucky enough to travel to Kauai last week and spend 8 glorious days on the beach...well by the pool anyway. I'm not sure where Mackinley came from but he hates sand! In our family that's like hating chocolate or good Italian food, it's NOT ALLOWED.

Our flight over was a slight nightmare, we had seats across the aisle from each other so Mackinley had no where to lay down to sleep. Luckily the people on either side of us were nice and didn't mind his outbursts from exhaustion. Tami was also extremely nauseated and spent half the flight in the bathroom...so it was tons of fun for me wrestling with a baby that all the flight attendants called "HER" and "SHE". Seriously? Just because he's not practically bald like his buddies doesn't mean he's a girl!

We enjoyed long hours by the pool, a Fern Grotto cruise and lots of good food. Mackinley ate more than we have ever seen him eat, seems like he's a growing boy these days. He loved any kind of pork we threw at him, sticky rice and his all time favorite right now, tortilla chips. I think he ate half of the bag of the 3 lb Kirkland chips himself!

The flight home was heaven compared to the way over. We had a window and a middle seat and Mac napped for just over an hour soon after take off. The remainder of the 5 hour flight was spent playing with stickers and flipping through his books. I got to finish the book I had been reading by the pool and even got in a 20 minute nap. It was only fair that Tami took the brunt of baby duty this leg :)
