Okay, I am going to post a vacation entry today since otherwise I won't be doing one until very late tonight. This is for 9/8/12, the first day of the trip. (Note for future vacation entries: I am terrible at getting the pictures sized and properly posting into my blog format here. I have given up on such and just linked everything.) Didn't sleep this night, because with a 6:25 a.m. flight that means you have to get up at 3 a.m. to leave by 4-ish... gah. I spent a lot of time constantly repondering what the hell to pack. More warm weather clothes because weather.com was saying 80's later in the week? Eventually I gave up and stuck to having 95% pants/sleeved shirts. Mistake? Mom left late, plus we parked in long term parking and had to wait for an airport shuttle... long story short, we barely made the flight. They were paging our names. Fun. First we flew to Salt Lake City (one hour-ish), then had a short bit of layover there, enough to pick up lunch. The other flight was 5-ish hours. Flew over the flyover states-not too terribly interesting to see-- and then flew over the Great Lakes, which was more interesting to look down at. We got picked up by Bill and Matt. (Explanation: Bill is Mom's first cousin. Matt is his son and the relative closest to me in age. We hit it off the one time he visited CA while I was in college.) While getting out of the car, a cop came by... no, we weren't ticketed, he just liked Bill's car because he used to have one. Talked to Selina about knitting-she wanted me to do a baby Fair Isle sweater for M&T's upcoming baby and I said uh, I am not so good at that yet (put link), but I made something else... I made 3 dragon hats, presuming that once the baby grew out of hat #1 s/he could move on to larger sizes. Or an adult could, you know, borrow one too. Turns out the bigger 2 fit adults' heads just fine, so... Yay dragon cuteness! After dinner we hung out in the living room talking about what to do tomorrow/playing games. Mom has now played Angry Birds-shocker! |
