Just the beginning

The trip out west was a very long one. We had to drive a couple hours to get to the airport, then we had to venture into the security area with a family of five and a billion suitcases. This, of course allowed us to bypass the normal security lanes and meander over to "the family and special liquids" lane.....otherwise known as the "people who are gonna take a long time" lane. And that we did. We had bin after bin of coats and shoes and laptops and carry on bags. I have to say tho, that the people behind us were very patient and that made it so much easier.

G's first time on a plane. He was very excited and did a fantastic job.


So excited in fact, that by the time we made our connecting flight and were in the midst of the long leg...this is what happened.



We made it to Oregon...finally. The kids are more than tired as we wait for G's car seat to travel down the luggage line.


We arrive at Danni's tired and hungry. And I have to say that after all the travel and frenzied airports and rental car places......seeing Danni(and of course sweet Roxy) made it all worth it. And this. Something small to many, but so meaningful to me....it warms my heart.



Oh wait. I meant this. Seeing this.
