Travel Day

If exhaustion could be a person, I'm it. 

We started at 5am pacific time. We headed to Seatac airport, said our tearful goodbyes, waited in loooong lines, had a major security meltdown (from our 19 month old anyways. Taking away favorite blankies to be scanned by the xrays is a serious toddler violation). Then we finally got to the gate and had expensive airport food breakfast. 

And then we were delayed an hour and 45 minutes no thanks to heavy fog.

I remember when I liked to fly. I sure as hell don't anymore.

I assumed, since the kids were awake forever and didn't sleep well last night, that they would easily take a nap on the plane. 

They did not. Not even Cam, whose eyes were incredible shades of black and red from being so tired. He slept for 15 minutes. At least this time, he didn't scream. He just whined. And kicked the seat in front of him.

And then they both fell asleep before we even left the airport parking lot. Turdfaces. 

Highlight of the day: while delayed in Seattle, a one man band marched by playing Christmas carols with his drum/harmonica/symbols/100 other instruments attached to him. Super fun. 

AND also at Seatac, Frosty the Snowman and a REALLY cool snow princess came around randomly and talked to all the kids. She was a good one, with an accent and perfect pose whenever a camera pointed to her. Maybe she used to work for Disney.

Cam was busy marching around the terminal when he saw the duo and stopped dead in his tracks. Then he continued to follow the princess (he ignored the snowman) all around the terminal smiling at her. It was love. 

Caminator was excited to meet some celebrities.
