Got home at 1am last night

Had a busy day yesterday. We got up around 8:30 and had breakfast at the hotel. We all went down to the beach and I took the kids in the water and played in the surf with them while Brian and Liv watched. Then we went to the pool and I jumped in to cool off and then took Liv while Brian went in with the boys.

We checked out at about 1:30 and headed over to my Dad's. Tor and Liv fell asleep on the way so only Jack and I went in and visited with Papou. We left there and got BK, gas and headed to the airport. We actually got there almost 2 hours early. Going through security with two strollers, three kids, 5 pairs of shoes, two cell phones, one laptop, one DVD player and two video games is a nightmare. It wasn't as bad since we were early though.

We got to the gate and waited for a while, and Brian realized there was no plane there and we were supposed to have been already boarding. I asked and they said it would arrive in about 10 minutes but we could play on the playground around the corner. Three hours later we were still playing on the playground :). We ate dinner there and boarded the plane.

Liv slept most of the time. Jack feel asleep right before we landed and Tor stayed awake. I waited with the kids, the bags and the car seats while Brian got the car. After driving through the worst parts of Jersey, we got home at 1am. Tor fell asleep halfway home.

This morning Tor brought me his PJ's and asked me to change him out of his clothes into them so he could take a nap with me. He NEVER wants a nap, poor baby. He and I are still in our PJ's

I'll bet you and Jack had a good dose of Papou. A nice way to finish the trip. At BK, did you get a chicken sandwich (minus mayo)? The memories of traveling with "stuff" [both kids' and Dad's (wink)] still lingers in my brain. Those airport play areas are way cool; Allana and Joe have spent some quality time at the one in San Jose (SJC). Getting through a trying travel episode in one piece still qualifies as a miracle in my view. You all earned a "pajama day"...rest well!

Ah you are my best friend, you remember that I love those old style (fried) chicken sandwiches minus the mayo! Very funny.

No I ended up getting some chicken tenders because I didn't want to hassle with a wrong order on the way to the airport. But if we had time that is exactly what I would have gotten!
