Well, the fact that I am posting means I survived our first plane trip with the Abbers. For reals, Internets? She was a muthereffing rock star on that plane.
Blurry walking through the airport photo.
Getting prepared for the flight. With Goldfish.
She totally made that plane her bitch on the way there. Slept through takeoff and EVERYTHING. (Virtual high-fives.) Although, she never really understood that she was ON a plane. When we landed she was all “AIRPLANE! AIRPLANE!” upon seeing all the planes at their gates. I reminded her a couple times that DUDE WE ARE ON A PLANE but it didn’t really register.
Sidenote – you can check a carseat FOR FREE when you fly on Delta. I was not aware of that. Also? Awesome.
Anyway, we had a LOT of fun with the fam and Abby in the Bay Area. We hit up a few wineries on Friday afternoon, then headed to the Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve. All Abby wanted to do was climb the trees like her older cousins, whom she referred to simply as “BOYSSSS!!” Unfortunately, she was a bit too little to do the tree climbing thing.
Abby going for a hike while mom & dad get wasted at the vineyards. (just kidding.) (sort of.)
RedWOODS! (To be shouted like IngleWOOD!) (Like Dr. Dre.) (Duh.)
Saturday we headed into the city for some farmers market action and then a playground for the kiddies, as well as made an attempt to go shopping, but a random downpour ended that quickly. So, in typical Jenna fashion, we went back on Sunday to Haight Street where I bought two adorable new dresses, as well as a shirt for the hubs.
Dont even act like youre offended.
Then Monday morning we headed back to the airport with a toddler unwilling to nap. She did okay on the flight back, but had some ear issues upon landing. And then had some meltdown issues from not sleeping.
All in all though? It went really, really well. Thank you everyone for all the advice and willingness to listen to me freak out about this trip.
Beta Test: Complete.

Monday night the hubs and I had tickets to see the Minnesota Twins play some (rotten) baseball, and although we had someone to watch Abbers, we decided to bring her along. It’s one of the few games we had tickets to with just the two of us, so it was worth the shot.
Overall, she was good. However, it was a great second test to see how she’ll do on our trip – specifically on the airplane. Without a seat of her own.
Result? SHE IS SQUIRMY. MY GOD, she is squirmy. We must have passed her back and forth about 30 times in the first inning alone, as well as her modifying her position in our laps a billion times.
So THAT’S why people say the littles should have their own seat.
(If you’re wondering why I haven’t posted any ADORABLE pictures of her at the game, it’s because WE BROUGHT A TODDLER TO A BASEBALL GAME and I didn’t have a third arm to take a picture with. Toddler wrangling should be a sport.)
Anyway, we ended up leaving the game around the 5th inning because her highness was getting tired and was signaling we needed to go. I was pretty panicked at the thought of our flight, but the hubs reminded me we just endured 5 innings of baseball without toys or a DVD player. A little less than two hours of keeping a child entertained with funny faces and french fries. Not too bad.
We leave for our trip tomorrow.
(I haven’t packed anything yet and have to get laundry done tonight on top of packing.)
(I’m just a little panicky.)
(And I’m serious about toddler wrangling being a sport. Do you see this face? SERIOUS.)
I’ll more than likely be tweeting the hell out of our trip, and maybe a “post” with pictures while we’re away.
Fresh ink.

Technically, re-inked. I had this touched up last week to be darker. That Tiffany blue just wasn’t holding up. Honestly, I love it even more now. (I still wear my rings, just not while it’s healing…)
La La Love You

While most of my day yesterday was spent chasing after a nearly 16 month old with a kleenex and drool rag, the hubs and I did have reservations at a great restaurant called Spill the Wine. I had a delicious viognier hybrid of sorts while the hubs had a wine pairing for all 4 courses of his meal. It was an awesome night. The in-laws kept Abby overnight, which essentially resulted in me sleeping until 2:30am and then tossing and turning for the next 3.5 hours until my alarm went off. *sigh*
But dinner was good. As are the gorgeous roses the hubs surprised me with.
Yes, I am wearing a blanket & the hubs has a sweatshirt on his shoulders. We are classy. (photo from mexico)
Love you lots, my dear. Nine years of Valentine’s days. I couldn’t ask for anything more.
