I must first tell you.. I scored awesome prices through Alaska...
and it was a direct flight...
But alas Alaska Airlines is not Southwest (which I love)
and they charge you to ship your bags...
so me and these 3 cuties lugged 4 21" roll on totes + 4 backpacks on the plane.
Trust me when I tell you this...
EASIER SAID THAN DONE.
and security was no cake walk either...
Let me just say that I was super thankful to actually get to my seat.
I think one of the flight attendants saw that I was dripping sweat
(I may have actually been leaving a trail of water behind me I'm not sure)
anyway...
He lifted THREE of my bags up above while I pushed and shoved and stood on someones seat to get my one overstuffed bag up...
did I mention that I fit 4 wks of stuff in that small bag?
just so you know I will be wearing the same outfit everyday...
so if in future photos you think,
"didn't she wear that in yesterday's post?"
I will likely answer "yes, yes I did."
anyway.
My kids were awesome (once we actually got on our delayed flight)
they watched a movie...
ate a snack...
drank some juice & Sprite...
and squealed in joy when we started to land.
Jack was yelling things like this...
"Mom I just farted" (true story)
"Mom I see Papu's house" (I believe we were at 20,000 ft at this point)
"Mom, mom, when do we blast off?"
and telling any passenger who would listen...
"I going to California today."
"Woo Hoo we're going down!"
and many more... that somehow have slipped my mind.
when I woke up this morning at 6:30am I thought to myself if we had driven I would just be arriving here after driving all night....
I am glad we flew.
Even if I left a pile of sweat down the airplane aisle.
p.s. when we were getting off the plane Jack says
"Where is the pilot?"
me: "he is flying the plane from the front"
"where"
me: "When we get off I will show you, maybe he will still be there..."
"okay"
we proceed off the plane...
and the pilot is at the door...
he tells Jack to wait he has something for him...
a picture of the alaska plane that has Mickey Mouse on it...
that is when Jack pipes up...
"MICKEY IS IN MY BACKPACK!!!!"
turns around and sure enough Mickey's head is poking out the top of his bag...
it was one of those priceless mom moments when you know in your mind that you will always remember that moment...
Oh yeah I almost forgot.
It was 78 degrees here today...
I wore a tank top and shorts.
It was fabulous.
