What a nice and relaxing weekend. We flew up to Newport to accept a long-standing invitation from a colleague of Den's to spend a weekend. With 10 +/- neices and nephews they were well prepared for Eddie and unfazed by his antics.
Eddie fell asleep both times we went out on their boat. The first day he sleep almost the whole time, around 2 hours, snoozing through some pretty fast speeds and thumps as the boat caught air and then landed on the water again. Kept right on sleeping. We were all impressed.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention the very shi shi party we went to. I am not exagerating when I say it was a 'beautiful people' party. Everyone we met was really nice and it was in a beautiful setting, right on the water. It was in part for a magazine, Boston Common, and Eddie had his picture taken at numerous points by the party photographer.
So on the return flight, we learned what TSA will do if you bring banned liquids through security. We brough a container of milk for Ed, but because it was not in his bottle/sippy cup and because there was water in the sippy cup, I had to go back out of security to dump the water (I was not permitted to drink the literately one gulp of water to put the milk in the bottle). To say I was aggravated would be an understatement. They held us up for an eternity, even after I asked to just pitch the stuff so we could continue on. They wanted to wait and get the final word from the boss.
So, my advice would be not to screw around with this policy, especially if you just came through a long security line, you literately could miss your flight.
