<p style="text-align: justify;">Last weekend, we packed everything we would want for the next couple months, packed up the kids, and headed to the airport to start our journey. We took Chuck&#39;s step-mom, Jean, with us to help with the kids and all our luggage. I&#39;m not sure we could have done it without her! </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">We arrived at the airport and made our way through security and then had some lunch. The kids were really good and had fun looking at everything at the airport. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The girls did really well on the flight and played on the iPads through most of the trip. Maddie said it was fun and liked the bumps (turbulence). Dannie was really good until the last 10 minutes or so. She didn&#39;t want to be in her seat, didn&#39;t want to be held, and screamed through most of landing. But she&#39;s two, hadn&#39;t had a nap, was really tired and overall did great!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Alex was great! I fed him on takeoff and landing. He cried for a minute when I changed him, but slept through most of the flight. He&#39;s been to both sides of the country since I was pregnant when I went to New York! What a well-traveled 5-week old!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">After a long day, we made it to Seattle. We were all tired and hungry, so we grabbed some food and made our way to our temporary housing. Then we put the girls to bed and fell asleep shortly after them. Alex even let me get a bunch of sleep that night. I was so thankful!</p>
