It's no longer just annoying when you forget toothpaste (as we did) or not pack enough pairs of underwear (which we've been known to do), it's downright game changing. Forget something you need for a baby and you go into lock-down mode until the item can either be secured or located.
Luckily for us, we didn't forget much of anything for Parker. However, you also learn one more new little item when traveling with a baby. You either (a) bring more stuff or (b) replace the things you would normally put in your suitcase for his things. "I'm sorry, daddy. You can only bring two t-shirts this year because I need my stuffed elephant and Tigger.
So, just to keep everyone in the loop, we flew into Salt Lake City yesterday for our yearly ski trip with Jaimie's family up in Snowbird. Jaimie, Parker and I arrived at the airport yesterday morning and then had a little "camp out" while we waited for the rest to come in from Austin. With ten of us in the shuttle fan, plus luggage, skis and snowboards and a grocery stop on the way up the hill, you could barely see out the windows. But, after a short ride up the Little Cottonwood Canyon, we arrived at the Cliff Lodge in Snowbird.
I know I've said it before, but Parker is an amazing baby to travel with. Besides the flawless airplane trip, the van travel from airport to ski resort take us up to around 7,000ft. In the past, with nephew Cole and niece Hannah were babies, they suffered from altitude sickness as we travelled up the mountain. But, Parker did great and has been enjoying his first day being passed from Grandma to cousin to aunt to uncle then back to Pappa.
I will be trying to do regular updates from the mountain, so keep a look out. And also, check out the newest photos just posted.
