NC Vacation

We had a fabulous trip to North Carolina & loved getting to see Josh & Laura and meet little Addison for the first time! We were so worried about how Ainslee would do on the plane, but she surpassed all expectations! Apparently the really loud "white noise" of the plane just put her right to sleep. She slept all the way to Dallas, through our layover (only 30 min.), and just about all the way to Charlotte, NC. We did have to all squeeze into the airplane bathroom at 30,000 feet when she decided to potty, let me tell you they don't make those changing tables very accommodating to actually being able to reach/change the baby. Our first day there we were able to make it out of the house around 3:30 pm for a trip to Target. The next day our first outing was to the pediatrician. Ainslee woke up from her morning nap completely covered in a little red dotted rash. It continued to get worse as the day went on, so we took her to visit Addison's doctor. The doc said it was just the end of a virus she had had prior, that we never knew she had, something called Viral Exanthem...sounds bad, but isn't, but lasted about 4 days. It also wasn't contagious, thank goodness, so then we went to get ice cream :) Each day we got progressively better at timing the babies feedings/naps and were able to leave the house earlier and for longer periods at a time. We had a blast touring downtown Hendersonville, Asheville, the Grove Park Inn, the Biltmore area, hiking around Sliding Rock & Looking Glass Falls, and just hanging out at the house. Ainslee loved to watch Addison and try to grab her, sure signs that they will be best friends :) We really wish they still lived in Texas, but are looking forward to many future vacations together!

Are we there yet?
