Today we flew to Hawaii and despite the shortened 5-hour flight, it wasn’t the best flight we’ve ever had. First of all, it was a completely full flight. That meant there weren’t any extra seats available for Peanut.
That meant we had a very squirmy and noisy toddler on our laps…and on the floor and aisle. He did manage to take two naps but there were times when he was fussy (right before he fell asleep) and quite a nuisance to everyone around us.
Our solution for his squirminess was to having him sit in the aisle after the meal service. He happily played with a plastic cup and a string of beads that Mama brought from home.
Janie did a great job (as usual) since she had plenty to do and watch on her iPad. She even took a quick 30-minute cat nap on Dada’s lap.
Once we landed, we are all smiles again but very hungry. As soon as we parked our rental car at the hotel, we went straight to Dada’s favorite ramen shop for a very late lunch.
Luckily, our little monster was sound asleep and everyone got to eat in peace.
Back at the hotel, we checked in and everyone got a bath.
Then it was back outside for dinner with Auntie Yoon, Uncle Kurt, and Trevor.
The kids enjoyed their poke tacos, broccolini, pizza, and mac-n-cheese. By the end of dinner, we were all ready to go to bed.
