Travelin' Tot

We were worried about how Bridgette would travel on our 3 hour flight to Seattle, then 2 hour drive to Whidbey Island. But other than being a wiggle wort, she was a doll.

At the check-in counter, she helpfully pushed the luggage around. And at the boarding gate, she stood by the windows and watched the luggage carts scurry from plane to plane.

Once on board the aircraft, we started out by strapping Bridgette into her seat. Nathan and Stephanie graciously loaned us their FAA approved toddler harness that fits over/around the airplane seat. But after a while, I gambled and freed Bridgette from the constraint.

She sat on her arm rest, stood on her seat, played pick-a-boo with the passenger behind her, and in general never quit squirming. But over all she remained in her designated area and never cried a whit!
