Trip to the Motor City

Actually it was a trip to the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. Roman and mamí went for about five days to spend some time with the Sanchez familia. Roman's aunt Patty made the visit from New Orleans. We missed Aunt Lucy but maybe next year we can have all the hernandez sisters! Roman got to play (or be a bully depending on your perspective) with his older cousin Amanda.

We had a blast. It was a true test of mamí's patience during the long flight from Houston-Detroit The key was to always keep something handy to entertain him with. and of course snacks... but you have to be careful not to offer snacks when he is not hungry, because that is when you will have flying goldfish, cheerios, etc all over the aisles and passengers' laps.... mamí is not sure whether a window or aisle seat is best. An aisle seat allowed us to walk up and down the aisle, without bothering fellow passengers. But the window seat on the short flight from Austin to Houston, entertained Roman for the whole time. The continental flight attendants were awesome, letting us hangout in the back part of the plane. Roman explored that area for awhile. He finally crashed for a portion of the trip, and mamí got to nap (good thing because our travels started at 4:45 am!)

The trip back was so much better because we had a row of seats to ourselves (even his stuffed toy penguin had a seat). Roman entertained himself with the seat belt, and had a good time. He kept himself busy with a box of 4 crayons. He put them in and took them out for about 15 minutes. It was great!
