Bass Family Blog: Ohio here we come!!!

Courtney was so sweet and surprised me this year with a trip to go see Meredith (Cincinnati) and my family in Dayton for the weekend for my Anniversary/Mother's Day gift! I was so surprised!!! I have been doing a lot of travel lately for work, and have been gone a good bit, so he went ahead and shared my gift (the itinary) with me early so I wouldn't book a flight during that same time for another work trip. This was going to be Emma's first flight! I should mention, that Courtney had been planning this trip since January...such a great husband he is!

Our Friday started early, with a 6:00 AM flight to Dayton! Emma did beautifully!!! She was entertaining everyone at 5:30 in the morning when we boarded the plane, and here I was nervous about how it was going to all work out getting her up at 4:30 to leave for the airport! She was a champ, and fell right asleep right after take off.

We had a great visit in Dayton with Granny, Uncle David/Aunt Carol & Auntie Winnie/Brooks. Emma did not hold back and shared with everyone her fun personality. She was sooooo good that day, and went without a nap and managed to hold herself together before her meltdown until we were done visiting later that afternoon. Granny looked wonderful!! And her new place is so nice, what a nice facility!

We headed over to Cincinatti on Friday afternoon, and also had the best time visiting with Meredith, Peter & our super sweet Godson, Will! Emma & Will were great friends, and played so well together. They both were so good all weekend. Friday night we went to one of their friends houses for a birthday party, and Saturday we went out for a good lunch, and over to the Brazilan Butterfly Show. It was real neat. I am not sure if the kids or the adults had more fun! As always the weekend went by way too fast!
