Fun Times… and NOT so fun times

We had a great time visiting with Tim, Barri, Peyton, and “No no”.. and it went by too quickly.  We left for the air port early Monday morning. We were headed to Salt Lake City for a 2 hour lay over and then onto Atlanta and then finally, home to Dothan. We made it to Salt Lake City with no trouble and had time to eat and enough time and space to let Aiden burn off some of that toddler energy.

Then we headed out to Atlanta.. this was a three hour flight, not as long as the five hour flight out, but still (supposedly) the longest leg of our trek home.  We were happy that Aiden decided to stretch out in our laps and take a good long nap.  This allowed us to get a bit of a nap too!  However, the weather was a little rough in Atlanta so we had a little delay in landing.. and ended up getting there well after our flight was suppose to leave. Not to worry though, it had been pushed back a couple hours! .. Then rescheduled.. the cancelled!! We had no idea what was going on and spent several hours trying to find someone who did. Since it was weather related, there were SEVERAL flight cancelled that day.. so there were TONS of people in the same boat we were in.  We finally found out we were on standby for a flight leaving at ELEVEN that night but if we couldn’t get on that one, they promised we be on the first one out the next day… no thank you.

We ended up renting a car and driving home. They flew our checked luggage into Dothan, so we were able to pick it up the next day.  Even with this little bump (okay.. pretty big bump) in getting home, we still can’t wait to go back! We had such a great time.. and we always enjoy getting to spend time with them!

Lake Tahoe and a GONDOLA Ride!!

On Friday, July 1st we headed out for our last “trip” of our trip.. if that makes sense! We made a day trip to Lake Tahoe.  So Pretty! The roads were a little winding getting there and both Barri and I get terrible motion sickness…  so one of us had to sit in the back.. she volunteered, and even though she didn’t feel great when we got there.. we made it!

(Thank you, Barri, for letting me sit in the front!!)

We took a gondola ride up to the top of the mountain and was able to look down on Lake Tahoe.. it was unlike anything else I’ve done! Such a cool ride and view. There was even snow on the top when we got off!
