Weekend Getaway

We managed to get away for the weekend (Nov. 4-7th) to meet up with my grandparents (aka Nana and Saba to Brennan) in London...although the night before I wasn't sure that we would be leaving after Brennan succeeded in vomiting all over himself, me, and the kitchen. In true Brennan form, he was fine afterwards and slept through the night ready to go Friday morning.
We stayed at a lovely B&B, an old home built in the 1600s and restored very well. Original artwork and some woodwork were still intact; legend has it there's a ghost that hangs around there, but we didn't hear or see anything out of the ordinary.
We all enjoyed our time together; Brennan loved the attention he got from Nana and Saba and seemed to be all smiles for them. This weekend, for me, felt like Brennan skipped several chapters of the toddler manual and went straight to the tantrum phase, although the tantrums were mostly reserved for any public transport we decided to go on...taxis, buses, trains, planes. Brian and I really had to dig deep into our creativity pockets for ways to distract and entertain him. Lets just say it's a good thing the flight was only an hour long...on the way back to Dublin, we had just enough entertainment to last us til landing and that would be precisely when Brennan fell asleep.:)
All in all, it was a great weekend away. We stayed in Harmondsworth Hall Guest House, in Heathrow, and spent 1 day in London, and another day in Windsor, a cute town about 20 minutes away from Heathrow. It seemed like wherever Brennan went, he instantly made new friends. We love our social butterfly and love seeing him spread his wings and show his colors. It was great seeing my grandparents and watching them be great-grandparents to Brennan...I remember my Baubie Irene fondly (my grandma's mom) and grew up with her in my life, so it's incredibly special for me to watch Brennan have this time with them.
