Travel, interrupted



This is Doug (and Kate) at the bus station with all our stuff. Traveling with a baby makes everything more complicated. Our friend Scott was going to drive us to the airport, but his car died so we took the bus.

The night before we left for Utah, Doug discovered that his driver's license was missing. He thought the other identification he had with him would be enough to get him through airport security, but, as it turned out, it wasn't. (We had other things at home that would have worked, but we didn't bring them with us.) So Kate and I went on the plane and Doug came the next day. We had brief moments of stress and panic but everything worked out okay. Whew!

Oh no! So where was his stuff? Did he have it shipped to him? You went by BUS? There's security for buses?

I shall have to clarify!

Doug took his stuff home with him and brought it the next day. I still had a ton of stuff to carry through the airport, along with Kate. That was rough.

I remember flying when Xavy was about eighteen months, just me and him - a suitcase packed, my backpack on, the baby in my arms toting the carseat. Ugh.

No fun doing the airport thing alone. I did it with Emma when I went to visit Jenni and Mitchell last year. Glad to see that Kate is enjoying her carrier:)
