We are just coming home from a trip to Boston, Maine and New York wondering if we're insane or just in denial that we can't travel how we used to with a 15-month old in tow. Hmmm.....
It was a great time visiting friends, exploring both Boston and New York, and driving through small, quaint towns in Maine and New Hampshire enjoying Fall foliage (including a day in Acadia National Park). Cora was actually a fantastic traveler other than the occasional meltdown due to: sleep deprivation, too much time in the car, over stimulation or just a longing to get out of the damn stroller and explore on her own two feet! We found that the train is a fantastic way to travel with a little one and our backpack full of books, snacks and other forms of entertainment definitely came in handy. Cora got to meet her new boyfriend, Dylan, in New York and he introduced her to her new obsession - ELMO. Of course, we had to get her a small Elmo doll and she hasn't put it down since. It seems as though she is a completely different child from when we left for this trip. She talks constantly and can say many words clearly and is on the verge of running. We've got an independent and strong wiled little girl on our hands!
We made a promise while we took the train from Boston to New York that we WILL NOT take another trip like this until Cora is older and can at least carry her own bag. It's been fun but we're exhausted and now we need a real vacation....
Pictures coming soon.
