I had planned even before we left for the mainland to blog about our packing and preparations. But like all good plans are paved with good intentions, this did not even happen. I had shut down the computer way too early so that when there was time to blog, the computer was down.
Tuesday evening (Hawaii time) we boarded a plane bound for Atlanta. With two giant suitcases, two car seats, two kids, a stroller, and three carry-ons later, we were ready to go. We timed the arrival to the airport perfectly. (Sorry, Laura, for your 1-hour/5 mile trip home. We really appreciate you taking us to the airport.) Only had to wait to board for about 5 minutes - NICE!
The girls looked like they were very interested and pleased with their new sleeping quarters.
(Checking out the overhead lighting.)
We could not leave without Lamb.My worst fears almost came to fruition when Brooke woke up from a 45-minute "nap". My mind envisioned her staying awake the entire trip and being this little, uncontrollable monster, a force to be reckoned with. Her tired, little eyes would almost close, then jerk open, destined to stay awake. She must have been afraid she would miss something. But, daddy worked his magic and had her asleep in no time.
Where did we go first when we got into Atlanta? CHIK-FIL-A, or course!! We actually went to the original, founding Chik-fil-a. I savored each and every chik-fil-a mini as it crossed my lips. I am not ashamed that I ate five little scrumptious minis. Not ashamed at all.
A dear friend of mine was in Atlanta yesterday, and we were able to take a few minutes to see her. I haven't been able to see her in forever, it seems. Thank you, Joanne, for allowing us to infiltrate your home and visit with you. I have missed you!
Lastly, we had a two-hour ride to my parents' home in Cleveland, TN. What did we do in the car? You guessed it!!!
I even put an embarrassing picture of myself on here. Equality for humiliation!!
loved it! Jaynie
