Frequent Flyer

Pyper and I flew out of Greenville bright and early Tuesday.  We are still trying to adjust.  It's 9 o'clock in the morning two days later and she's napping after a full morning; we've been up since 5am exploring and playing outside.  

Her 33rd flight out of Greenville was more or less uneventful, she fell back asleep. Our 34th however started with a major tantrum at the boarding gate, which definitely worked to our advantage while getting a seat on the plane. Since Southwest Airlines doesn't assign seats, it's usually advantageous to those traveling with children. When we found the row we wanted to sit in, I took the window, and Pyper was adamant about taking the aisle. I told her that someone might sit between us, and she would have to make a choice, but somehow it didn't come to that. We did watch every other middle seat fill up around us as the doors of the plane closed and we were left with a full row to ourselves. Maybe Pyper has caught on how to work the no-assigned-seat system.  We were happy to have the extra room to climb, jump and sprawl, since it seemed like we were the only ones not sleeping on the flight.  

Thumbs up, it's time to get out of Greenville. 

Upon flying over the State of Washington, we enjoyed the views and witnessed the still lingering smoke the wildfires still burning. It was good to finally touch down, knowing that we would actually be coming "home" this time.  

Our home coming was perfectly routine. Mom picked us up, we picked up Eileen at work, then we went to sushi for lunch, and Pyper fell asleep.

Drama Queen!!! Not another picture mom! She's looking awfully big in these pictures. 

It's been nice unpacking to stay for a while.
