Las Cruces

Liliana and I went to Las Cruces, New Mexico to visit my grandparents. It was such a nice trip. My grandparents live on a very pretty golf course there. We ate great food and visited with each other and their friends and relaxed. Liliana loved having her Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa show her all of the birds and rabbits outside and all of the sculptures and art in the house. We both had so much fun and only wish that the trip was longer. Everything about the weekend was perfect...except for the plane trip home.

The trip home was rough. My little traveler had her first bad flight. I guess we are all entitled to one every once in a while. She didn't sleep well in Las Cruces because of the altitude and I think that the sleep deprivation caught up with her on the last day and made her very grouchy. She is also at a stage where she wants to get down and crawl all of the time, which is impossible on an airplane. Because the flight was not full we had a whole row to ourselves--THANK GOD. Otherwise the person who would have sat next to us would have had a black and eye and been missing clumps of hair. She threw a total fit and writhed like a crazy girl batting at me and pulling my hair. She was so tired and could not calm herself down. Finally, for the last 15 minutes of the trip she passed out. Poor baby.
