We Made it!

After a rough couple of flights, Lily and I made it to Arizona where we are visiting for the week. Well, actually Lily is getting to hang out with my parents and little brothers, while my two best friends from High School and I do our annual Best Friends Retreat for a few days. Our flight was at 7:15 AM, which I thought would be good because Lily would sleep and the flight would be less crowded since it was one of the first for the day. Wow, was I wrong! We had to leave our house at 5:00 to get to the airport and when I got there the security line was the longest I had ever seen it, clear down to the second baggage carosel. Then the flight was so packed I sat next to two guys, luckily I had the ailse, and Lily was not happy to be confined to my lap for an hour and a half. Finally with about 20 minutes left of the flight, and after I ran out of books and stickers and she was done snacking and crying, she fell asleep sitting up in my lap (I was so thankful for this sweet moment of peace). Then as soon as we got off the plane she was her happy self exploring the airport, and then the next flight was way better. It was a smaller plane and not full so Lily and I had a two-seat ailse to our selves, where she played peek-a-boo with the nice old lady behind us and then quietly sat looking out the window leaning on her stuffed hippo going "Mmmmmmmmmmm". We are so excited to be here even though we will miss Chad desperately, and now that Lily is napping I am going to go and join her.
