Finally flying home

The guy at the airport told us that we needed to get back to the airport extra early since it was such a busy airport.  So we woke up extra early Sunday morning, and took a shuttle back over.  Well when we got there, neither the checked bag area nor TSA was actually open.  They didn't open until 3:30am.  So we had to wait a little bit, then used the curbside checked bag services since it was the only thing open at that hour.  We then went over to TSA, which just opened as we got there, and went straight through.  We then took a little train over to the gates, where we waited a couple hours before we took off.

Ready to leave the hotel at 3am in the morning.  

On our first plane ride.  We all took a little nap since we got up so early.

Carter took a good long nap.  Hudson getting a snack after his nap.

We then got to Austin and had a LONG layover (4 hours).  We tried to pass the time the best we could. The boys spun each other around in the chairs many, many times.

There was a funny "pretend" door in the airport.  They rotated through "pretend" destinations.  It was pretty funny.  You'll also notice the trash can going into the wall and the seats disappearing in the wall.

Back on the airplane again.  Leaving Austin.  Hudson asleep again.

Now Carter asleep.  Finally we see SLC and the mountains again!  Later Hudson playing outside.

It was another LONG day traveling, but we made it home safely with no delays this time.  We had a wonderful trip, and are so thankful for the experiences we had together.  We're thankful for the fun we had together, and the memories we can refer back to often.
