You see- momma stayed up til midnight the night before packing and planning the trip out to see Grandma. Finally she couldnt keep her eyes openned and she went to bed. 4 hours later she was back up and continued to pack up all those boxes(suitcases)with our clothing.
Soon enough, all the boxes were filled and lined up to go! And we headed to the airport. It was still a little early for me to be up and out of the house so I had my pancake "to-go"
When we arrived at the airport, we dropped off the boxes and head to our gate. I watched as mommy put my stroller and diaper bag into a x-ray machine. Next was one of the weirdest things I have ever seen happen to mommy.
A man in a blue suit had my diaper bag in his hands and asked mommy if it was hers. She said yes and they asked her to step aside because they had to go through the bag. Papa put me in the stroller and went off the the side.
The man in the blue suit told mommy that they had to go through the diaper bag because it wasnt clear what all was in there from the xray machine. So one by one he began to pull items out and swipe them with a circle shaped cloth. Mommy packed the diaper bag so well, and she knew where everything was incase she needed someone for me quickly. I knew momma was going to be upset that this man was taking eerything out.
A few minutes later an alarm goes off and the man in the blue suit tells momma she needs to stand off to the side some more and that she couldnt move or touch anything on the table where the diaper bag was. He gets on a "walkie talkie" and calls for more security.
A lady comes over to momma and informs her that she is going to have to have a full body search. Mommy had to stand in funny positions and a lady used her hands to make sure mommy wasnt hidding anything. Mommy told me that next time she goes to the airport we will not wear a skirt again!
After swipping the diaper bag again and even going through each diaper wipe, next a another man in a blue suit came over and momma had to open up all the containers and my sippy cup so they could test them. Finally the man in the blue suit put everything back in my diaper bag and momma finally was done. Momma said that my bag tested positive for explosives and that is why they did all that. Explosives?!?!? Oh my goodness. The only thing explosive in the diaper bag would be...well...my dirty diapers!
NOW- onto the airplane itself! How exciting! Momma really thought it would be terrible and that I would cry the whole time. Me? Cry? Nah!
No one sat next to us, so I even got my own seat! But I sat in momma's lap for the take off. It was bumpy and momma held on real tight, but after a minute or two I was up in the clouds! Momma thought I'd be more excited about it, but I found out that these airplans have tables on the back of the chairs...now THAT'S exciting!!!!
We colored on the airplane. We read a book. We sang songs. BUT what I liked most was reading about what to do incase of an emergency. I loved the picture of the airplane in the ater. Mommy told me that it wasnt going to happen- but it sure did look like a lot of fun to come sliding down that yellow slide!
After 2 hours we landed. It was just as bumpy a landing as it was taking off, and boy does mommy told on tight! Everyone kept saying that I should drink water when taking off and landing for my ears, but I didnt want to and in fact- it didnt bother me at all.
So off the plane, in the stroller, and back into another line we go. Only a few minutes later and we were boarded another flight. Mommy told me that this one was going to be very very long and that I should nap. NAP?! Oh who has time for a nap when there is a table on the back of the chair infront of me?!?!
We got lucky again and on this flight no one sat next to me again! Maybe because I felt the need to poop as soon as we boarded.... but I am not sure ;)
And after a nap and 4 hours we finally landed in San Jose, California. Momma said we were very very far from home and that Grandma was just around the corner.
After nearly 7.5 hours I can finally walk. Walk? Nah- it was time to run. And I did just that. I ran throughout the loby and the terminal. Momma wasnt too happy about it because in the morning, right as we were going to board the frist airplane- her flip flop broke. Mommy was very funny walking about the airport with only one shoe ;)
Papa finally picks me up and as we turn a corner- there she is! GRANDMA!
HI Grandma, we arrived!
