UK Trip: Jack's first flight ever

We all took a trip back to UK in November 2008. We had BIG plans for the 3-week visit, including a wedding to go to, Jack's Christening and LOTS of friends and family to introduce Jack to. :)

But first, the journey across the Atlantic...


Jack eyes up his bag and wonders what on earth is going on with just about all his stuff squeezed into that thing Mummy and Daddy keep calling 'the tardis'??

Thankfully Jack proved to be a great little traveller on his first flight. He dropped off to sleep while we were taxiing to the runway and literally woke up just after we touched down in Philly! Well done little man. :) (Phew!)

Thanks to Daddy having racked up tonnes of airmiles we got to chill out in the exec. lounge at Philly airport. A welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of this major hub.

On board, Jack takes a peek out the window. The thing in the foreground is the bassinet he used which attaches to the wall in the bulkhead seats.


Yup, that'll be the bassinet. A great help on the long transatlantic flight. Sadly Jack'll almost certainly be too big for it on our next trip back.


The Boppy cushion was great too - a useful feeding/resting zone for Jack without tiring Mummy's arms too much.


Daddy was all of a blur... well, we were flying really fast!?

And at long last, the cuddle they'd both been waiting for... in the carpark at Manchester airport
