heading north...

We put in for Aubrey's passport a few weeks ago. They had to mail the application to the U.S. Embassy in Jamaica for processing, then a few weeks later it would be mailed back to Cayman. It ended up coming just in time. The funny thing is this: Aubrey already looks different from the picture, and the passport is good for 5 years. So, I'm not sure how believable the passport will be for identification 4 years from now. But whatever works...

A family shot in the airport in Cayman. The place was nuts, as Hurricane Paloma was bearing down on us. It was kinda fun watching cocky jerks trying to muscle their way into getting the ticket they want and the airport employee putting them in their place. It made me chuckle.

On the airplane. I think this was on the flight from Cayman to Atlanta. We ended up with three seats to ourselves, which made for a comfortable trip. Aubrey did extremely well on both flights. No fussing, no screaming, etc. A great little traveler.

Cousins Ryan and Evan loved getting to meet Aubrey for the first time!



A four-generation photo. Aubrey with Val with Val's dad with his mom. Pretty cool.

Fun! I am glad the family got to snuggle Aubrey! We started a map that we color in the states the kids visit (we are family travelers like you ;-) ) You'll have to get a world map for Aubrey!
