The Long Trip Home

 

Vacation is over. We had to drive back to Fargo so we could fly back home.

I didn't want to go home. I even tried to convince Mommy to let me stay with Grandma and Grandpa, but she said no.

 The weather on the drive there should have been a warning about how the rest of the trip was going to go.  Mommy switched our connecting flight in Minneapolis so we wouldn't have a 3 1/2 hour layover.  But storms in Minnesota closed down the airport and by the time they reopened we would miss our earlier flight. 

 So Mommy switched our flights to the next day and we stayed at Joe and Emma's one more night.  I ran around the airport while we waited for Aunt Emma to come and get us. (she brought me chicken nuggets).

 The next morning, we actually got off the ground in time.

I got to watch some cool clouds on the way to Minnesota.

 When we got there, I played on a free iPad while we waited for our connecting flight.  Then Mommy had a brilliant idea. The flight was oversold so she volunteered to take a later flight so we could get vouchers to use for our tickets to Phoenix in November.  But after our flight left, they told us that there were no seats available on the next flight (like they'd promised). The next flight was 6 hours away.  So we got free meal vouchers, ate some lunch and then spent a lot of time at the kids play area.

By the time we finally got on the last flight, I was very tired and cranky.







I fell asleep before the flight even got off the ground.  We got home 16 hours than originally scheduled, but it was such a fun trip.
