Leaving on a jet plane

I've been up since 4:30. It's our (my) plan to leave the house by 6am so we can be at the airport by 6:45 (factoring in time for traffic) so we'll have plenty of time to check in before our flight leaves at 8:45.

We're visiting Steve's parents in VA for the holiday, and it's both the boys' first time on a plane.

I don't know why, but I am so nervous about this. It's not that I'm a nervous flyer - I don't think the plane is going to crash (although it is super windy right now - I think there might even be a wind advisory in effect. Is that safe to fly in??), and as long as I take my Dramamine an hour before the flight I'm fine - I'm just thinking of how the boys will do.

I think Ben should do fine, as he'll be in a car seat in his own seat, and we'll take the laptop so he can watch Mickey and Manny DVDs.

It's Logan I'm worried about! He'll be on my lap... a squirmy 11-month-old who wants to crawl and cruise everywhere cooped up on a lap in a plane for 2 hours? Not my idea of fun.

I've heard it's a good idea to apologize in advance to fellow passengers... :)
