Eliza flew on a plane for the first time last week. She was very excited and really wanted to greet all her fellow passengers. She didn't understand why so many of them were trying to sleep on such an exciting occasion. :) For a while the ride was pretty bumpy and she kept yelling "wheeee!!!" Overall she was a very good sport.

I'll post more later, but for now, a few highlights:
-The enormous turtle at the aquarium (seriously, it was 5 feet long)
-Eliza raising her sippy cup to say "cheers" at the Cheers bar
-Eliza feeding the ducks and chasing the squirrels in Boston Common
-Checking out the Harvard Natural History museum (Eliza pointing to each gem and saying "rock rock rock")
-Eliza saying "choo choo!" every time we got on the subway
-Eliza posing at the Stata Center (famous architecture) MIT sign
-Riding the carousel in the park


And a few lowlights:
-Me getting lost in the rain trying to meet up with S and Eliza on the Harvard Bridge (turns out the Harvard Bridge doesn't go to Harvard, oops)
-Almost missing our return flight because we had to go through security twice due to a JetBlue error.
-Eliza swallowing an olive pit. I'll spare you the details.
-Eliza figuring out how to unlock our hotel door and trying to make a run for it while we slept.
