Milos the American!

We made it to DC--

Thanks for the prayers. Milos was actually a pretty good--no make that a very good traveller!

Kudos to the Belgrade Airport for a great kids area. They have lots of Little Tyke stuff to play on in a closed off very comfy room! Plus yummy schnitzel  in the self service cafe to bring in.

There were problems with the seat assignments. I had confirmed bulkhead seats for all of us on the Paris/DC flight-- somehow AirFrance lost that assignment and we were to be in pretty awful seats in the rear of the plane.  To their credit, they treated us VERY well on the Belgrade/Paris flight with free Champagne. We arrived late into Paris but decided it was worth a try to get our seats back. Someone was in them-- not good-- Milos was really hungry and grumpy at this point and the people at the transfer desk did their nice deed for the year-- they booted the people who had taken our seats and gave them back to us-- Whew-- Bulkhead it will be.

The long flight went GREAT! Milos stayed away for about the first 2-3 hours and slept the last 4. He was VERY good (except he had a belly ache and only wanted to eat pudding (maybe WHY he had a bellyache)

Smooth getting off the plane-- no problems through customs-- Milos is Now an American-- May I add a very stinky American-- Belly problem solved. Mary goes to change the poopie machine. After a fresh set of clothes we are through customs and out to our shuttle.

The Hampton at IAD is wonderful! We arrived in the room a bit after 9 and headed out for Milos' first sports bar food--- Well he actually had a jar of baby food with sportsbar mashed potatoes. (thanks to the hampton folks for driving us)

\One last pudding with melatonin and Milos fell asleep around 11:30.

Up at 3am for a diaper change and wanting to be up for the day--NO WAY. With some encouragement he went back to sleep until 7! (YAY!!)

Great Hampton Breakfast for all of us (notice we really like this place) and back to the room for a bath. (and a potty break--- Milos actually used the potty--- YAY again!)

Our flight is around 11am. We will head to the airport fro our quick flight home!


 Will try to update with pics tonight
