Back in November Southwest ran a 24 hour special... $25 one-way flights. Something I couldn't pass up, so we booked a girls weekend to Chicago to visit the B relatives.
Friday- what a LONG day. It was a long emotional week with the daycare situation and my body finally gave out overnight Thursday and I acquired the 'crud' that everybody had gotten. Body aches, that scratchy cough, plugged ears and a stuffy nose. Not the way I wanted to get onto an airplane, but we had to do it. We were delayed because the plane we were waiting for got stuck in the air due to fog. Thank goodness the girls have traveled so many times, that I don't have to worry about them very often on airplane trips. Nece is a little pro... she knows that shoes, backpack, jacket, etc go into the bucket and that she has to walk through the machine. We arrived safe and sound... I think it took me less than 15 minutes to get my jammies on for the night and relax.
Saturday- Nece went to Disney on Ice with Auntie Cindy and Uncle Marc. From what I was told, she was very overwhelmed for the 1st half, but thoroughly enjoyed herself. Franny got some one on one time with uncle Timmy and the grandparents. And me, I got some quiet time to myself and went shopping ALL ALONE!
Sunday- Nece and Franny got to spend the afternoon with Uncle Tim and Celina. From all accounts, they had fun, even though there was an issue when going on a train ride. I guess there was a little boy that was a brute. Tim shared a cute story that as they walked, Nece held Franny's hand. So sweet, and how they love eachother. That evening Uncle Marc and Auntie Cindy came over for dinner and to watch the Vikings game. Vikes lost in OT... sad, sad day for us. And me, I got an entire day with one of my best buddies from college! Jen and I went shopping and just hung out! Love, love, love that girl! Thanks Jen for a fantastic and relaxing day!
Monday- Busy day. Haircut for Nece, new school shoes for Nece, laundry, packing and onto the airplane back home.
Pictures- there are none. I didn't bring my big camera as I was doing airport travel on my own with the girls. My intention was to buy a point-and-shoot on Saturday. I never did that. Hopefully pictures will be passed along!
