Man! What a day. It was a fine travel day, nothing bad happened, but it wore me out. Our limo driver was late then talked the entire drive to the airport about his home (Lithuania) and how I don’t look or act like an American girl. He didn’t specify what country he thought I was from, just ‘European.’ He told me about flying with his six year old daughter to his home and how my two hour flight with Addie didn’t compare to his ten hours to Lithuania. Ooookay. When I told him that we have a DVD player for the flight he looked at me in the rear view mirror, furrowed his brow and said, “Not very much time with the TV,” letting me know that he didn’t approve. I told him that we were fine thank you.
Addison Goose was awesome at the airport as we did the check in process – she’s such a pro now that she does everything without me asking (taking off her shoes in the security line, standing still when I put her carseat on the screener belt, etc) She was awake the entire flight and was very concerned about the woman sitting next to us who didn’t speak any english but cried softly the entire flight. I was a little weirded out as to how I should handle a crying stranger but my innocent baby kept reaching out to her and saying, “Hi!”
But I digress. We arrived in Colorado to beautiful sunshine and a smiling MoMo which is always wonderful. We went out for lunch then shopped around, came home to wait for PaPa then went out AGAIN for dinner and a walk around the mall with Aunt Bear, Uncle Craig and Baby Jackson. By the time Addie was ready for bed it was nine o’clock and I was so tired my eyeballs hurt.
When seven am rolled around this morning Addison told me it was time to get up and I opened my eyes to yet another perfect day looking out over the Red Rocks. This is going to be a good week.
