The flight

Hey everyone. Guess where I am this week and for the next 2 weeks? I am in Washington DC visiting my parents! Last week I got to go on a tour to the white house. Today I am going to the Capitol Building. I will get to be in the same room that President Barack Obama spoke in last night at the state of the union. Pretty cool huh?

It is so nice to visit my family. Last time I came here Claire was only 4 months old... but we did stay for the whole summer. Another thing that is different is that Cory isn't with me this time. :( I miss him. This is his busy season at work ( he's an accountant) and so we decided this would be the best time for me to come.

The airplane ride was crazy!! I left Boise airport at 12:20pm and then flew to SLC where I stayed on the plane and other people boarded. Then we flew on to Chicago. This was the long flight, about 3 1/2 hours. Claire was awesome, Lauren was as good as a tired baby could be. She only cried once for about 5 minutes straight, (which seemed like forever!!) and then a lady offered to take her and within 3 minutes Lauren was asleep. Embarrassing, but also very much appreciated. Everyone was so nice on the flights and in the airport.

Then we got to Chicago. From here I had a 2 1/2 hour layover, so needless to say, I wasn't looking forward to this part of the trip. Both kids wanted to run in different directions and they were cranky and exasted. Then when it was time to get on my plane to go to DC, My flight got delayed for 2 hours because the landing was too icy.

It. was. not. fun.

When I finally arrived it was 1 AM on east coast time. It was a long flight but well worth it to see my mom and dad.

I will write about my adventures....eventually. That is the plan anyways, so stay tuned.
