Chicago and Florida - Spring Break

Maya and I made our Spring Break getaway this past week. We started with an easy drive to Chicago to spend the night with her Uncle David (before he flew off to Germany for a dance tour). We walked around his adorable neighborhood and took the El Train to dinner.
After Chicago, we boarded up for a solo plane trip to Vero Beach, FL to visit family and meet up with John. Unfortunately, poor Maya developed diarrhea and the day did get more interesting. Upon arriving to Atlanta, poor Maya pooped everywhere. I wrapped her up in her blanket and had to run the entire length of the Atlanta airport with her in my arms (not a small airport) and just made our flight. After wiping her down with baby wipes and throwing out her clothes, we made it to our destination with a shower in sight (thank god).
We spent a wonderful day with my grandparents, affectionately known as Monnie and Bumpa. It was wonderful to have the time with them and was sad to say good-bye. We also stayed with our wonderful Aunt Bridget and Uncle Earl who made the house so comfortable for us. We were truly spoiled! We spent the few days swimming in the pool, walking on the beach, collecting shells and eating wonderful meals.
Finally, we returned to Chicago to stay at my friends' house KC and Levon, who were so sweet to us. We met up with John's friend, Andy and his adorable daughter Mia (just 2 months older than Maya) for breakfast and then the Shedd Aquarium. Maya and Mia became fast friends.
