We are loyal Delta flyers--but at the moment, love American. The woman who checked us in said there were vacant seats and so blocked a row of seats so that we could take our car seat on the plane. What heaven! Word to the wise, while we had one less bag to carry on because we didn't have Den's computer, DO NOT attempt to bring a car seat onto a plane with a cup of hot 'Joe' in one's hand. I finally had to abandon Den's beverage at seat 18 and come back for it (He was lugging Eddie and our 2 carry on bags).
Avis tried to upgrade us to a Mustang (have to get some benie for all the trips Den has to make). While ordinarily this would be a fun upgrade--not so much with 1200 miles to put on the car and a child to pull in and out. So we got upgraded to a Buick Rendevous (spelling??). What a nice ride! A bit huge, but man, can easily see why people like the bigger cars for long trips.
Anyway, crazy busy visit to Chicagoland to visit da Bears, da Aunt, Uncle and cousin Chicago, pictured above with Eddie. Our 2 additional kids are da cousins with us a the Chicago Botantical Garden--a beautiful park.
