Truthfully, besides me feeling sick, it was an easy-peasy day. The kids were wonderful on the plane. Will even slept for 45 minutes (after he had informed everyone in a five seat radius of every detail about our family... "This is my mom. She is 28. We live at 1711 Russell Way... We're going to GA. My dad's a worship pastor. Do you want to see my cars? My mom bought them for me...."
