Florida Update

Andrea and I were supposed to leave for Florida yesterday (Tuesday) morning. Taryn got us stand by tickets with Air Tran for us to fly and visit Mackenzie. We got up early and made it to the airport before 6am. We checked in and waited at our gate. Unfortunately, there weren't enough seats for us and the gate agent told us it looked like we could get on the 5:59pm flight. So, we decided to leave the airport and come back later.

In our extra time we visited with Cindy (Rick's mom), visited my classroom so Andrea could see it in person, stopped by Rick's work to say hi, had lunch with my Grandma and Grandpa, and finally went back to the airport.

My grandpa drove us back to the airport and we left our car at his house. Once again, checked back in, went through security, and waited for our flight. This time the results were worse there were many more people waiting to get on this flight. Out of luck again. We may have been able to get on a 7:30pm flight, but wouldn't have been able to get out of Atlanta once we were there.

Andrea and I were very disappointed to not get to see Mackenzie, but we decided we didn't want to spend more time in the airport than with Mack so we called Rick to pick us up. It was quite a day! Mackenzie will be visiting Chicago in October and we can not wait!!
