Safe and sound on the ground






We landed in Sarasota safe and sound this afternoon. The kids did pretty well - there were only a few crying fits due to extreme exhaustion. Camden sat by Pop Steve and I sat in the back with Landry. Neither of the kids would leave their ear plugs in, but the really loud noise didn't seem to bother them at all. It was actually a great way to drown out the crying fits! Landry made it about 45 minutes before she passed out. Camden held out a good bit longer, but finally gave into the noise and vibration. We decided to bypass the stop, so we made it to our destination in 4 hours. It was really nice to have the option to avoid commercial travel. We would've pissed a lot of other passengers off with our volume!
We're now in our condo on Turtle Beach settling in for the evening. Camden and Landry have both woken up crying already. They passed out quick, but then they woke up in unfamiliar surroundings and lost it. Hopefully we'll get that worked out pronto.
We'll check in later on.


p.s. It occurred to me today that calling the plane "the miniature plane" might offend the two men who bought it, so from here on out it'll be lovingly referred to as the subcompact plane. Now if we can just get Camden to stop calling it a tractor . . .
