last free flight

We've had a hankering to travel lately and with Madeline approaching the end of her "kids under 2 fly free" era, we made arrangements to visit Josh's brother Jeremy and his wife Sara in Connecticut. We had a relaxing weekend visiting with them and seeing their neck of the woods. Highlights from the trip:
feeding the animals at Northwest Park in Windsor, touring Mark Twain's house in Hartford, eating ice cream at Friendly's x 3, eating a huge breakfast at the Aero Diner in Windsor, meandering around the UConn campus in Storrs, and visiting the Zoo at Forest Park in Springfield, MA. Many thanks to our hosts!

Madeline took her own carry-on for this trip (thanks, Gma & Gpa B!)


Checking out the animals at the Zoo at Forest Park.
Many of them were accustomed to being hand-fed so they came
right up to the fence to see if we had any nibbles for them.



Jeremy & Sara -- Madeline still talks about sleeping in the ABCD bed. It was definitely a highlight for her!
