A little break away

Although our trip was filled with lack of sleep, Rylee and I still had a great time. Here are some photos of things we did: 

They had a frozen yogurt place called Qoola. I may or may not have gone 4 times while I was there. The coconut one was so good I didn't even get anything on it most times! It was so good I don't know if I'll enjoy it at home anymore. 

Lots of snuggles with Rylee. 

On my last night in town I really wanted something kind of seafood-ish. So we went for fish and chips. I had two pieces of fish and some fries. This is what was still left over when I was done! The portions were CRAZY!

One last snuggle with great Nanny. 

So our flights home were not too bad. She was fussy on the long plane ride for a bit but not too bad. When we got home tho they had lost my luggage. Normally this would not be a problem, however, my parents were taking my suitcase with them to Chicago...

You'll have to wait until my next post to find out if we got the luggage back on time or not...

I'll leave you with this:

Rylee very happy to be back with her daddy (for a few hours anyways!!!) 

Travel queen

Hello from the West coast! Sorry for the lack of posts this week but as you can imagine I have had my hands full with traveling and the baby and that fun stuff. 

Early Tuesday morning Rylee and I got on a plane to come visit my family in British Columbia. On our first flight we had the two seats to our self and rylee just slept the whole time. On our second flight they moved us so we had an empty seat beside us which was very helpful! 

Rylee did sleep for part of the flight - did fuss for a bit but not a ton - and I had her bottle ready for when her ears started popping and she was quite fine. Although if I didn't have her bottle ready we might have been in for a major meltdown. 

By the time we got on our third flight she had had enough. She was tired and grumpy but seemed to enjoy the lady next to her playing peek-a-boo with her. Thankfully it was only a 13 minute flight. 

Since we have been here Rylee has been quite fussy and having a hard time adjusting her schedule. Rylee is usually quite laid back and chill so compared to a normal day for her yesterday was rough. She was up lots in the night and didn't want to go to sleep. 

Given how Rylee has been I have been doing really well staying on plan. I made a plan for the day of traveling and brought lots of healthy snacks to munch so I was we'll prepared. Yesterday I made a meal plan for while we are here and got some groceries so staying in track will be pretty simple I'm thinking. 

Yesterday morning Rylee and I went for a long walk -- which we do everyday at home -- however the difference is the hills here! They are massive compared to our flat land! Yesterday and last night my

Knee was REALLY hurting but it seems to be okay today. Next time I'll be sure to stretch before walking here to prevent injury. 

We have been having a lot of fun with my family so far. Today we are going shopping then I am going to see my Nanny's new apartment before going to my WW meeting. I think we are having sushi for lunch -- the sushi out here is so good it has ruined sushi at home for me so I try to eat it often while here. 

This morning we had a FaceTime chat with Sean and Rylee just stared at the phone and couldn't figure out why she could see and hear her dada but not touch him. The look on her face was super cute -- my little snuggle monkey! 

Until next time!
