First Flight and Vacation

For the holiday weekend the House of Emery went to Destin, FL.  It was Riley's first airplane ride and she did wonderful!  The people around us had no clue there was a baby in the seat since she was a perfect angel.  She slept for most of the nonstop flight from BWI to ECP and waited until the end to deuce. I got visit with some old friends, Tiffany and Hector.  I haven't seen them in a while so we met up at our old sushi place, Sakura, in Destin.  It was so great to see them!


Riley got to experience the beach and the pool.  The water was rough in the gulf and there were jellyfish everywhere so we did not get to dip her toes in the sand or the water.  But she enjoyed it for the most part.  She loved the pool though.  That completely wiped her out for the day.




She loved spending time with her grandparents at their place and also got to visit with my Aunt Paulette and Uncle Paul which was wonderful. 




It was our 4th Anniversary so we stayed at the Hilton in Sandestin for a little getaway.  It was wonderful although the weather could have been better.  We didn't get much sun in on this trip.

Riley finally got to meet her godparents, Mike and Brooke Sakraida.  They were staying in Pensacola so we drove over to visit with them.  Riley was a big hit.  She has been such a great baby the whole trip.


Even the plane ride back was fine.  We brought an 8oz can of formula and of course at the dinky airport in Panama City they made Matt basically go through a strip search for us to bring it on board.  We had no problems in Baltimore but at in Panama City they patted down Matt and searched every inch of his briefcase and bags.  It was not fun to watch so I can just imagine going through it.  But Matt is a good sport and did fine.  We boarded the flight and off Riley went to sleep.  She even slept through the landing!  There was another baby on board that was intolerable.  The baby in the back was screaming the whole time.  Once we landed all the passengers around us commented on how good Riley was and couldn't believe she slept through everything.  That's our Riley!  She is just so precious!  She is so alert now and loves playing in her jumper.  She just jumps and jumps all day.  Loves it!
