we weren't sure what it would be like traveling by airplane with a toddler...but mattie did surprisingly well. she watched DVDs, ate lots of snacks, and entertained fellow travelers by running up and down the aisles a few times. :) on the way home, she even got a foot rub from a professional massage therapist!
here are the pics...
we went on a short walk around the park on our first night there. mattie wanted to give the baby doll AND the stroller a ride.
grandma drying mattie's hair. i thought she might be scared of the dryer, but she seemed to like it!
cruising in the mustang. glenn was in his element!
looking sharp, cloyce!

we stopped in the parking lot of chipotle that evening to talk, and glenn couldn't resist snapping a few shots of the scenery
