Off to a good start! Thank you so much to my sweet, sweet friend Yvette and her wonderful husband David (my fellow SWA employees), for always having everything ready and waiting for us with the sky caps at the airport. Never have we had to wait in the long, long Southwest lines to check our bags! You guys are the best…talk about alleviating the initial stress of traveling.
To add to the good start, we ran into Trey’s t-ball and flag football Coach. Coach Dennis and his son Carter, along with the rest of their family were also at the airport, headed to San Diego (wish we were too).
And who should be going through security at the same time as us??? The CEO of Southwest Airlines himself, Mr. Gary Kelly!
How cute is this picture?! A huge thank you to Deborah, my boss, for assisting us with this rare opportunity.
So sweet…the first thing Trey said when he got out of his seat to look out the airplane window was, “look, Drake and Broc, we are up in the clouds with Laci”.
It was a year ago that we left for Minnesota that Laci (our 11 yr old Golden Retriever) unexpectedly passed away. We are so thankful that my mom is staying at our house to help us take care of Tate (or 13 ½ year old Golden Retriever) while we are gone this year. The love and kisses that the boys gave to Tate before we left this morning were so touching. Broc even left him a note that said, "I Love You Tate!"
An uneventful trip from baggage claim to the car rental to the hotel (just like we like it. We then drive around the area to find something for dinner; pizza for dinner
and as luck would have it, the location of our hotel is around the corner
from The Metro Dome (the Vikings home field) and Target Field (home of the Twins)…we have three very happy boys on our hands.
To end the night, Trey asks to make a phone call to Auntie Sharron and Granny to tell them we are here in MN...he is so excited to let them know he is in Minnesota just like them.
