New York/ New Jersey - Part 1

We drove to San Antonio to catch a 6:20 am flight to New Jersey for a wedding! One of Tony's cousins was getting married and he wouldn't miss it for anything. I was excited to meet the rest of Tony's family as well as take a vacation to New Jersey/New York!! This was the first time that Kaede would be in an airplane and I was nervous for 2 reasons. 1. because I didn't want him to be that screaming child the whole plane ride and 2. because if anyone one knows Kaede they know he has our sleeping habits...sleeping in until at least 9 am or else he is in a terrible mood! Definitely not a morning person.

So we headed to the San Antonio airport at 5:30 am and he was no were near falling back asleep. Once on the plane he pulled all the magazines out of all 3 seats and opened and closed the window a million times before we even took off! This made me even more nervous! He fell asleep as soon as the plane took off with his milk and was sleeping great...until they came around asking what people wanted to drink and woke him up! So we had 3 more hours in a plane with a non sleeping baby! He did pretty good though!!! Kaede couldn't go to the wedding since the wedding was at a house that was on a lake but he did get to go to the rehearsal dinner the night before!


Tony's Aunt Nina (the brides mom) provided an amazing babysitter to watch Kaede while we attended the wedding. I was very nervous since Kaede had only been watched by close friends and family but Kaede took right to her and did great! - The wedding was amazing! They added their own twist and danced down the isle!! - Here is the link to the wedding video to see it! - http://vimeo.com/24487794




After the wedding and the reception there was an after party. Tony's mom went back to the hotel to relieve the babysitter so Tony and I could go to the after party. The party was in New York at Xan's bar (the bride). They provided a bus and we had a fun ride into the city!
The bar was closed to the guests only and it was complete open bar and karaoke! It normally doesn't close until 4am but the bus brought us back to New Jersey at 2! It was a complete blast and I was very excited to for the upcoming days to tour New York in the day time!
