Rashidah's Airport & City Trip

We were up from early to make sure we were on time to go over to my peeps in order to take them to the airport. Rashidah was excited as usual to go to the airport to see the "big plane". "Grandma Yoli" was going to Canada for a convention after which she would join "Grandpa Mandy" and "Great Gran" in New Jersey. We reached the house on schedule and had time to spare, because as usual my peeps aren't really on time for stuffs..lol... so we decided to take a picture of Pookie before we hit the road. Just so you know...our baby loves taking pictures..once she would see the camera lying around the house, she would go for it and take it out of the case and ask us to take a picture of her. After that "Great Gran" was ready and sitting in the rocking chair relaxing, so we decided to take a picture of them both. Now usually we would have to ask Rashidah to smile for us; but, for some reason it was natural with this picture. As a result, it has become one the best pictures yet and so natural. This is the kind you enlarge and place in a nice big frame and place in the house. Any who, after that we started to load the pickup with the suitcases for the trip. Funny how only for two weeks vacation they take so much luggage..the entire back of the pickup was filled with 7 suitcases if i not mistaken. Once this was over with we were almost ready to leave. Final checks were made and we were off...after a couple miles of traveling Helwa decided to take pics of "Grandpa & Grandma" since we had gotten of "Great Gran" already. So as you can see there is Rashidah with both grandparents as she would say "Grandma Yoli & Grandpa Mandy". after the 40 minutes drive to the airport we were there a while with them and made sure they went into the waiting area. After which we decided to go to the city and get some of the famous "lee chee" chicken with steak sauce. After ordering two $4 dollars chicken with steak sauce to go, we went by the sea side to eat. After Rashidah was full and Helwa was finished, pookie asked to be taken outside to take picture. So sure enough Helwa took her outside and took a couple shots of her by the seaside. This was the first shot of her pointing to the sea. Which by the way she loves water too...hehe..what doesn't my baby love.. love's to swim.. but no we didn't put her in the yucky water. The sea water here in the city is too nasty and have too much things floating around...at the cayes and stuff yeah..but not in city.. lol...anyways..another pic was this one of her posing with mommy with the sea view as well.. it was pretty windy as you can see in both pics by the way their hair was.. It was a rather nice lunch..didn't have to leave the vehicle running... save on fuel. After having eating and relaxing just a little bit by the sea side and getting some sea breeze we decided to do a little shopping since we would be house sitting..lol. So we went to brodies the new one. What can we say its the best shopping store in the city thus far. Almost like if you go to one in the US. The best part was that Rashidah felt like she was the one who was shopping because they had the little shopping carts which was convenient because we came mostly to shop for snacks for her. So she got to choose what she wanted and placed it in her very own shopping cart. It was really cute how she was walking around the store pushing the little cart. After having gotten what she wanted. We got back to the vehicle and headed home. I guess she was exhausted by the day's activities that she was knocked out on our way back home. All in all it was a fun filled day and we got to spend a good time together as a family.
