Flying Home

On Friday, December 1st, we woke up at 4am, got ready and packed the last few things in our bags.  We then went downstairs to take the hotel shuttle to the airport.  Unfortunately the driver never showed up, so they called another one to come take us.  It was a little stressful to say the least, so Stacie and Carrie's families ended up taking an Uber over to the airport.  

When we got to the airport, the Delta rep took FOREVER to check Joann's wheelchair and oxygen in.  Then they had both Conor and my date of birth's wrong, so we had to go back to Delta and have them fix it.  We finally made it to our gate.  We had just enough time to use the restroom, then they were calling us to board.  

When I gave him my ticket to board, he asked if we were going to LA, I said no SLC.  He pulled us aside and looked at my ticket.  It was for someone else going to LA!!! Apparently the Delta rep gave me the wrong ticket when she corrected my DOB.  Thankfully I found my original ticket w/ the wrong DOB and the rep let us on.  Needless to say we had a very STRESSFUL morning.  We all made it though on the plane, and took our seats.  All of us were on the plane home, except Melanie's family, who decided to fly out later.

Hudson looking out the window of the airplane as we take off.  Nyles and Carter ready to go.  We had a direct flight back to SLC thankfully.  


Dave and Joann all tuckered out.  Hudson finally fell asleep as well.

As we landed, it started to snow in SLC.  Snowflakes on the window.  Our bags getting loaded.

Back to SLC!  We definitely needed our jackets again, as it wasn't 75-80 degrees like in Florida:)  Our neighbor Karolen, was kind enough to come pick us up again at the airport w/ our Honda Pilot.  After getting home, Steve went and picked up Piper.  She was SUPER excited to see us again.  We were all happy to be home and see her as well.  Piper also made a cute Christmas decoration for us w/ her paws.

We were all wore out, so we took a nap once we got home.  We had a wonderful trip and made LOTS of wonderful memories as as whole family.  We will be looking back at this trip forever!
