Since Ellie was born in London, she has traveled to Baltimore, Houston (twice), Newport, RI (twice come September), New York (twice come August), back to London, Bethany, DE (twice), and now ... Cape Cod. The place we like to call the Land of Free Babysitting (aka, Where My In-laws Reside). We had grand plans for this summer, oh yes. Tuscany? South Africa? Ireland? We thought we'd try to squeeze it in while she's still small enough to travel relatively easily on a plane (God love the bassinett option!) but then we thought, Eh. Two naps a day? Traveling with jars of baby food or other specially prepared food? Nah. We'll tackle that next year. This year we'd just like to try going out to dinner ... ALONE. Her grammies will love it.
Good thing she'll be asleep while we're gone, though. I find it awfully difficult to leave this face:
