We took the red eye here on Wed night. You might think (or even bet) that a 2.5 year old would sleep on a red-eye. You would be wrong. She slept for exactly 3 minutes. I had 4 bottles of milk, just in case and we went through 3 of the 4 on the way. We dragged the car seat through all 3 airports and she sat in it on both flights. And on the Continental red-eye....they showed a movie, followed by the regular airline TV filler crap. And the screen was about 2.5 feet in front of us, so every time she settled in with her bottle and closed her eyes....she glanced at the tv screen and had to look at it. So I didn't even get those 3 minutes that she got. On the second flight, she did pass out while we were still taxiing and woke to scream for the final 20 minutes, when her ears were hurting her (I assume).
That was the extent of our sleep that night and we both did amazingly well when we got to Jacksonville. Mom & Dad picked us up and we went right to the jacksonville county fair (I don't think that's the county name). We had lots of sun and got to watch a clown show, which completely absorbed her; see lots of farm animals up close and pet some; pet and feed lots of critters at the petting zoo and eat/wear some ice cream. We've also been to St Augustine and checked out their splash park. It got two paws up. And we all went to Aunt Norma's today for ham and birthday cake (for myself and Norma), so Kat got to sing happy birthday one more time. And eat ice cream cake. Talk about a win-win.
Tomorrow I'll post pics of Dad's vancomyecin (sp?) fill up. For those of you who don't know...that's THE big gun when it comes to antibiotics I think. I have the pics but really need to go to bed and may get better pics of the process tomorrow. Oh yeah, we're also headed for a beach or something, maybe. I'm sure there will be pics.
