Borderlands

Well, Maya Sanaa took her first plane ride to El Paso, TX! We visited grandad Andrew and grandma Barbara. I was such a nervous wreck of a newmommy. I had everything just in case, Pook was one of those screaming babies you hate to sit by: some food, toys, a teether, and course Benedryl. BUT, my daughter was perfect on the plane ride. She slept most the way there and back. I thought she would be interested in looking out the window, but not so much.

Once in El Paso, Pook saw mountains for the first time. Beautiful. We went for early morning and evening walks. Since it was so hot, Pook sported her summer fashions and was top model ready!! Everyone spoke spanish to her, and her name in El Paso was "preciosa". I agree:)

We also went to Mexico! Pook is worldwide (well almost). She didn't enjoy the loud marachi band but she did enjoy the advocados (on the fly snack). We weren't carded as we crossed the border, and fortunately we didn't have to cross a fence. Can you believe the minutemen?

So being in the desert was great for my midwestern self and family. We enjoyed time with the family and eating some good ole Texas Barbque. Pook took it all in stride and was all in all a great travel buddy!
