On Saturday Morning Maggie Arin and I woke Maggie up at 5:00 am to leave for California to help Grandma and Grandpa move. Maggie and I sleepily got onto the Airporter and headed for Sea/Tac. After we made it over the pass, Maggie fell asleep at North Bend. So she slept for about 45 minutes before we had to get onto the plane. She had a great time riding on the "Bus".
After a fairly hectic time trying to get to the gate on the 1 1/2 hours we had, we made it onto the plane. As much as I love taking Maggie in to a trip with just the two of us, I NEVER want to try and navigate Airport security by myself and a 2 1/2 year old again. we did OK, but fortunately there was another couple there (obviously parents travelling without their kids) and the wife went ahead of us and watched after Maggie as I tried to get everything through the X-ray without losing ANOTHER pair of shoes.) Once we got on the plane I started to get us situated, and realized that I had left the Car seat I was going to sit her in on the Jetway outside the plane. The steward that was there told me that it should be stowed under the plane by now and that she should be fine in the seat by herself. Maggie thought she was so grown up in a big seat with a big seat belt.
She had her Headphones with Dora and the Wiggles and She had Gary. She was set. But within the last 45 minutes of the flight she curled up and fell asleep. it was so sweet.
After we landed Grandma and Grandpa picked us up and we stopped at Great Grandma Lee's and had some Dinner. By the end of the night we were both exhausted. It was a very long day, and I am glad that we have the opportunity to make little trips like this while we are able to get away like this.
(Mom and Dad don't have Internet hooked up at their place because they are going to leave in a week for 4-5 months and see no need in paying for a week worth of Internet, so I am trying my blogging skills with a 60 minute clock ticking here at the public library.)
