Then after Maeve finally fell asleep, the stewardess woke her up when she insisted I buckle my seatbelt. More tears, of course. <br /><br />Sadly, the car is not much better. <br /><br />One of my favorite tricks is masking tape. Not to tape up her mouth (ha), but for play! I stick it onto the back of her hands. It's a short spot of calm, but she does enjoy it.redmenacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334441121491984365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144976013999744963.post-28439190406057009562012-04-23T19:03:19.508-06:002012-04-23T19:03:19.508-06:00My family has a place in Maine, and I've alway...My family has a place in Maine, and I've always wondered how true it is when people say that Portland, ME, and Portland, OR, are very similar. Judging by these pictures, I'm inclined to say they seem it!

Family trips are great but can get chaotic and you end up more exhausted than before the holiday! I treasure the one-on-one time with them and they love it too. At 9 the eldest went to London with me and it was SO special. My middle daughter has her turn next year and she is already looking forward to it. Great bonding time!Corinne https://www.blogger.com/profile/01171578926395503210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144976013999744963.post-72691615351995671932012-04-18T14:17:51.759-06:002012-04-18T14:17:51.759-06:00Looks like an awesome trip!

Hates traveling and has hated a carseat since he was born. Traveling with him is torture.<br /><br />My husband went to Portland in January for business and ate at Pok Pok as well (it had been on Diners, Drive-ins and Dive's a while ago) and he said it was dirty and disgusting and he was sick for 2 days afterward. His text to me that night said "Pok Pok was a big pokking mistake." I'm so intrigued now based on your recommendation. Is it good, or is it gross? So funny.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11015713105597907545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144976013999744963.post-24869914925774365822012-04-18T08:16:47.187-06:002012-04-18T08:16:47.187-06:00Spotting new places indeed gives a personal touch ...Spotting new places indeed gives a personal touch to a travel experience that makes you want to come back to =)JASRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848045344875898188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144976013999744963.post-60618858947820950222012-04-18T06:11:15.701-06:002012-04-18T06:11:15.701-06:00I love that you travel with your kids.
