We recently visited friends in Oregon and Washington. I tried to choose flights that would best fit my baby's sleep schedule without major interruptions. We flew from DFW to Portland with a layover in Houston each way. Ayomi was content for most of the journey, sleeping or playing. However, upon descent at DFW, he cried for about 10 minutes until we landed.
I was concerned about possible delays with TSA because of the government shutdown, but everything was smooth for us. Our flight from DFW was delayed for about 15 minutes due to air traffic control shortages.
I used my previous packing list, and I checked a large suitcase and carseat. I forgot to add the stroller cover (for rain) to my list. I knew we needed cold weather clothes for the trip, but I didn't prepare for rain.
When I was looking for travel tips, I read that there's no vacationing with kids, you're just parenting in a different place. I believe that we will be able to enjoy trips together as he gets older, but it's very difficult right now. I already have 2 future trips in mind that I think will be great for us.
