Noon to 4:30 (CA)- buckle- unbuckle, buckle- unbuckle, bathroom, play with in-seat TV monitors, pick up cars off floor, dress barbie, pick up cars off floor, undress barbie... redress barbie, color, scrape Play-Doh off seat, unbuckle- buckle, change barbie's clothes...
7:30 PM (GA)- land in Atlanta! Fight with overloaded stroller and 2 kids all the way to baggage claim, meet Nana, exhale.

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...."
