Alex Drummond and her family are heading to Pawhuska for the weekend, and this time, they're trying something a little different.
She and Mauricio are making the trip for a rodeo, but instead of all piling into the car together, they decided to split things up. "We're trying a little bit of a different travel approach," Alex said in an Instagram Story. She and baby Sofia flew, while Mauricio drove with their golden retriever, George, and all their stuff. "All the stuff loaded up, courtesy of Mauricio," she shared before they headed out, showing the car packed to the brim. Mauricio left early so he could meet them at the Tulsa airport when they landed—their "valet service," as he called it.
Sofia's first flight was the big moment of the day, and according to Alex, "it couldn’t have gone better." She and Sofia had a full row to themselves, and after feeding during takeoff, Sofia slept nearly the entire time. Alex even shared a photo from the plane showing her little "angel" snoozing peacefully in her seat like seasoned travel pro, looking completely unbothered by the major milestone.
Of course, no trip is complete without at least one hiccup. Right before Alex left for the airport, Mauricio called her with a panicked realization: He forgot to pack George's food. "I had packed so strategically," Alex said. "And then I had to throw all of his frozen food into a cooler and lug it through the airport. It was heavy. But we made it."
By the time they landed, everything had smoothed out. The boys had their quiet road trip, Alex and Sofia had a smooth flight, and George won't go hungry this weekend. (As if Ree would've ever let that happen!) One plane ride, one sleepy baby, and a cooler full of frozen dog meals later, the whole family made it to Oklahoma just in time for a fun family weekend. And while this may have been Sofia's first flight, it actually won't be her first rodeo! 😂
