A Day Flying....well waiting mostly!

Margaret and I started hard core packing on Thurday and decided to head up to visit her Daddy after we finished. I ran around and did some last minute things and we left for the airport on Saturday morning. We arrived in a very timely manner ~90 minutes before our flight was to leave, and made it to the check in with the help of a very nice bus driver. I was nervous about parking and getting us and our stuff to the baggage check without lots of difficulty. It was actually very easy. The trouble began just as we were supposed to board.....the flight had been postponed 4 hours due to mechanical trouble. This would cause us to miss our connecting flight! YIKES--excitement! But we handled it in stride. Margaret played very patiently in the "bag of fun" that we had packed while I stood in line to get some answers about how we would get to our intended destination in a reasonalby timely manner. Well, after 5 extra hours of waiting we were put on a direct flight across the country. YEAH!! It was a LONG but nice flight. The only rough spot was the landing.....Margaret was asleep and it hurt her ears so badly that she woke up in pain. Not fun! We arrived FINALLY around 9pm west coast time (our bodies felt like it was midnight) to find that our luggage, including Margaret's car seat had not arrived. UUUGGGGG! This was just about the end of my zen that I had managed to hold onto all day. After some paperwork and a nice man assuring me that our luggage would be found and delivered, Michael picked us up from the airport. Emily was sweet enough to have clean PJs and a toothbrush ready for us to use! Pictures will be added when I get home!
