Arizona...

Over Thanksgiving we took Dylan on his first vacation out of state!!! We went to Phoenix for a week and enjoyed the wonderful warm weather. Dylan went on his first plane ride and did great. He never cried a bit and enjoyed the flight attendent walking him up and down the aisle in mid-flight! Despite flying into and over the mountains the altitude didn't bother him a bit.

The weather was 72-75 degrees and sunny. It was nice to take Dylan outside in the dry heat and not have to worry about wheezing 10 minutes after we were out there. We did take on the trip his nebulizer and an oxygen concentrator just incase of emergency, but thank goodness we didn't have to use it at all.

On vacation Dylan was able to enjoy dinner out at restaurants with his mommy and daddy. But I should mention that his first dinners out, both Thanksgiving and the evening after, he slept thru both meals!!! Nice for mommy and daddy and thank goodness for the Baby Bjorn we strapped on us and he slept on our laps. But with the entire state being smoke free, we never had to hesitate taking him out for breakfast, lunch or dinner because we didn't have to worry about cigarette smoke keeping us away!

We also took Dylan to the Phoenix zoo. It was fun seeing all of the animals we don't usually see around here. We even went back to the zoo at night for Zoo Lights, the entire zoo was covered with Christmas lights, and music and it was fun to see the animals while they were asleep and hiding, or trying to hide.

Dylan's grammie and aunt Britni met us there for a few days too. It was great to lounge by the pool and have Dylan play in his stroller, and just hang out and RELAX!!! We got a much needed getaway, Brad, I and Dylan needed a change of scenery and some warm weather to enjoy. We are now ready to book our next vacation now that we know that things went so good and we have a new little traveler in the family!

Now its time to get ready for Christmas! Our first Christmas with Dylan at home and we will enjoy every minute of it!~
