Best. Trip. Ever.

Well, we’re back from San Diego, and it was a blast. I have lots of stories, but really the most important, life-changing thing that happened was that Maya met Elmo. I was kind of surprised that he was there, but there he was, just hanging out on Sesame Place. Maya didn’t see what we were waiting for until right before she was *on*, and then she started kind of panting, and then giggling, and when Elmo reached out to tickle her she was laughing hysterically and reaching out for him, like he was her very best friend. It was possibly the cutest thing ever. We bought her a little Elmo stuffed animal and she’s pretty fond of it.

Mustafa and I love Elmo, because he got us through a ROUGH night last night at the hotel (otherwise Maya was a champ sleeper in multiple locations), and both plane rides. Those 20 minutes of no-computer on ascent and descent are rough times….especially today. Lots of screaming.
