As some of you may know from the birth story, we were all anxious for Luca’s arrival so we could travel to Boston to a big family wedding. We really didn’t want to miss it, yet we wanted to make sure Luca was at least a month old before we embarked on such a big trip. He arrived just in the nick of time so we packed our (many) bags and off we went on our first trip as a family of 5.
There will be two posts – one of our travels and things we did while in Boston and another one about the wedding. Too many pictures! =)
A few days before the trip I figured I’d better try on the boy's suits to make sure nothing needed to be hemmed or taken out. We bought this suit for Sebastian to be in Uncle Corey and Aunt Sarah’s wedding in January. I could not believe how much he has grown since then! We had to take the hem down almost 2 inches!! They were quite proud of how handsome they looked. =)
One good thing about the Orlando Airport is that there are lots of fun things for kids to do and see before going through security!
Monorail to our gate.
Very excited, waiting for the airplane and watching all the action. They liked having their own backpacks with toys and snacks for the flight too. It was a huge help that my parents were on the same flight too. Also, we brought my MIL with us to help with the older boys during the wedding, so she was there as well. So many adults sure made everything easier!
Luca was a champ the whole flight! Not a peep!
Sebastian had fun playing with Lita and Lelo on the way there.
Our fancy hotel had all sorts of summer perks – free ice cream, bike rentals and a boat cruise on the Charles River (you’ll see those photos in a bit!). Sebastian couldn’t wait to go on a bike ride!
Summer in Boston was still pretty cool for us Floridians!
Luca got to meet his Titi Api Mayra. So sweet!
Even while on vacation, we must always follow our routine for bedtime. =)
We all went on a boat tour of Boston the morning before the wedding. It was grey and rainy, so it was a perfect way to see the city!
Matteo liked the boat so much it put him to sleep later on.
Little 5 week old Luca stayed warm and snuggled up with Mami.
Ran out for the quick “Boston Skyline” picture!
On Sunday we headed to Titi Arlyn and Tio Frasqui’s house for lunch and to spend the day. When we moved one year ago they were started this courtyard project in their backyard and now it is done – and looks incredible! So beautiful!
Jonathan, Arlene and David – it was so nice to spend some time with them again!
The Sunday after the wedding was our 7th wedding anniversary. The boys (ahem, my Mama), surprised us with a cake. =) We’ll probably go out on an anniversary date once Luca gets a little older. Hopefully….
Exactly one year ago we were moving – leaving Boston to come back to Melbourne. We took this picture of the boys that weekend….
And here they are, one year later!
Our flight left late on Monday afternoon, so we drove up to spend the day in Marblehead. It was COLD!
All bundled up! Glad I threw in a few hats, just in case!
With Nana who helped us so much during our weekend!
The boys had a good time. It’s amazing how much bigger they both are compared to the last time we were in Marblehead. You can see that post here.
The boys with Titi Arlyn and Tio Frasqui.
On the way back, Matteo sat with Daddy. He was not all that impressed with flying…Sebastian on the other hand LOVES every second of it.
Lelo and Luca hung out for a while too.
It was a great flight back too! What an adventure. Wedding picture post coming next!
