My granddaughter and Simon..watching Lady & the Tramp
My son and
DIL left their suburban home to head for
PDX [Portland airport] and hop a plane for Oakland. They flew into Oakland because they will end up in
Petaluma, which is closer to the Oakland Airport.
Anyhoo. Due to snow and bumper to bumper traffic, they missed their flight. Four hours later, they do get on a plane and make it to Oakland.
They haul the
grand kids to the rental place, put their
car seats and bags into rental van...and on their way out of the rental place parking lot...Jenn gets hit. Fender bender. Get out of that rental van and into another. Ethan is developing the croup.
So now it is bumper to bumper traffic from East Bay to Sac. They stop and eat. By the time they get here...it is 9pm. Ethan is worse. They take him to the ER. They get home at midnight.
The upside? Elaina was so happy to see me. I got the biggest hug ever and we enjoyed eating popcorn and watching a movie together. She was perfectly "at home" here. Ethan is contagious so we had to cancel our
play date with Sac kids. He's still feeling poorly today.
Onward and upward I say!
