Bay Area Trip
We took a trip down to the Bay Area this last week. We flew down on Wednesday afternoon. While not as bad as past trips, the journey down was still pretty stressful. We decided to park at SeaTac vs parking at an offsite location. We almost didn’t find a spot - it took 15 minutes of driving around until we found someone leaving.
Zach was not the happiest camper waiting in line to check our luggage. Next was the security line which was very, very long. We went up to the Express Lane and begged them to let us through, which they did. So we didn’t have to wait in the security line. We got a bite to eat and headed to the gate. Zach was doing great until Mom and Nate went to the bathroom. At this point Zach completely lost it. The next 5 to 7 minutes were pure hell with him kicking, screaming, and hitting until mom returned. Zach slept on the flight down while Nate hung out quietly.
The days in the Bay Area went well. We spent time on Wednesday and Thursday with Steph’s parents. I did take Nate to see my family on Thursday for a short bit. I had lunch with Brian on Friday and we had dinner with my family on Friday night. We also stopped by and saw the Rossi’s and Bob on Friday night.
The trip home went very, very well. Zach was awesome. He was very patient while we checked in our luggage and went through security. He ate lunch and then ran around the chairs at the gates for close to an hour, but he never complained. He also slept for most of the flight home and Nate slept during most of the flight.
Today was absolutely beautiful in West Seattle. We took Zach and Nate to the park where we met Dominic and his parents. We all returned to our house for pizza and wine. Now we return to our normal grind.
