WOW! What a trip! It was very emotional in all aspects...from flying into unknown territory (literally) with the boys on our first "REAL BIG trip", to seeing Gram after all this time and not knowing how she'd be from visit to visit...etc. It was the first time for the boys to fly and they loved it! (Thank goodness!) We got to Richmond (thanks to D and Christopher) in plenty of time and I thought all was well until we got on the runway and they said we'd be sitting there for about 50 minutes....WHAT!?!?!? Turned out to be not the whole 50...we BARELY got to Chicago in time and had to RUN from one side of the airport to the other. DO YOU REALIZE HOW FREAKIN' BIG THAT AIRPORT IS WHEN YOU'RE DRAGGING 2 BOYS, 3 BACKPACKS AND A PURSE!??! I was sweatin' bullets and we made it to the plane with about THREE minutes to spare. It was a huge plane and we had the 3 seats in the middle. They had radios in the seats and a movie to watch, so the 3 or so hours went by fairly quickly. From Chicago, we flew to LAX and had plenty of time to eat and wait for the last plane which took us right to Palm Springs . Donna picked us up around 8:30 and by the time we got to her house, we all crashed into bed. ;) ...Woke up to a beautiful morning and took the dogs for a walk and enjoyed the scenery. It was different to see such huge mountains and not be green! Everything was flat and brown! Once we got back to the house and had some lunch, Patrick decided to try out the hammock in the backyard for a quick power nap. ;) Now we were just waiting on Grama Bonnie to get there!

Oh, but you failed to mention the first error of your trip at the airport, when your bag was 10 pounds heavy....and you had to take out only THREE things to make it "legal size". Those 3 things were a baseball glove, a box of granola bars, and your make up bag. How will all that equal 10 pounds you wonder ~ the make up bag was EIGHT POUNDS ALONE!! HAHA!
