It’s a big deal for families with young children to travel long distances by plane. Bryan and Mandy’s flight from Eugene to Atlanta with 2 intermediate stops was to have been about 12 hours, but add another hour for an Atlanta weather delay.
Katie and Aaron’s flight from Chicago, with no intermediate stops, should have been a proverbial piece of cake, but their flight was canceled. Anyone have experience entertaining a 3 year old for 6 hours at O’Hare before the 1-1/2 hr flight followed by a 1-3/4 hr drive from Atlanta to Columbus? They arrived in their hotel at 2:00 a.m.
Daniel’s flight was rather straightforward save for the luggage, + 2 child seats, + a 2 and 5 year old, + toting an Aerobed which goes with him everywhere given his particular flavor of back issues.
All the travel annoyances dissipated into ethereum as sibs and cousins reunited after a spate of years, and visions of swimming pools danced in their heads.
The family was about as complete as it could be by Friday after Kirk’s brother, Patrick and his wife, Pam, and their adult children, Emily and Nate and his wife, Danielle arrived in time for a pool-side BBQ.
Quote of the day: 3-year old Jet to 2-year old Kallil: “Are you my cousin?”
