Hello from Florida
We're on vacation right now in Florida, visiting my mom in Boynton Beach. We flew out early yesterday morning. Because the entire city of Charlotte has the same spring break we knew the airport would be an absolute mess, and it was. Last year we couldn't even get on the first shuttle bus to bring us from long-term parking over to the terminal because it was too full, and cut it a little close to making our flight. This year we arrived extra early, leaving the house at 6am for a 9:30 flight. Again the bus filled up at the first stop but luckily we were among the first to get on. The the line at check-in was literally stretched from one end of the airport to the opposite end, but I will say that US Air kept it moving. Again, because we got there so early we were okay. Several different times I overheard conversations from strangers just arriving to the terminal, seeing the line, and saying to their spouse "I told you we should have left earlier!"
The flight began a little bumpy due to bad weather in Charlotte, but was smooth the rest of the way - except for a seriously annoying kid behind me who kept kicking my seat and pushing on his tray table. I kept pushing back, eventually giving his feet a swift elbow through my seat back, and this little brat had the naive nerve to complain to his mom that I kept pushing his seat. Before the flight I had made a deal with Maegan that she could have my window seat for the 2nd half of the flight. I warned Maegan about the kid but she still wanted that window seat. As that brat kept kicking and pushing, Maegan became as thoroughly annoyed as I was. I told her to sit back in her chair hard next time he did it. When he did, Maegan didn't hold back at all, flying back in her chair. I thought the seat would rip out of the floor she did it so hard. Good girl.
Most of the afternoon was minor shopping for baby supplies and we had to pick up a crib for Darah to sleep in. I took Maegan to the pool for a quick swim before dinner but I didn't bring my bathing suit. Too bad, the water could not have been a more perfect temperature. Then dinner at a restaurant and Jenga before the kids went to sleep. And that was day one.
P.S. Patty's father is staying at our house, our dog is at home, and the neighbor knows we're in Florida too, so criminals can just forget about targeting our house while we're in Florida.
