We Made It!

Well we had a very eventful trip to Seattle and it wasn't a happy one. On Wednesday we got to LAX around 5 pm. At that point everything was on time and we made it to the gate and were just waiting. Then they delayed the flight 2 hours. O.k. so at least we will still get out tonight . . . they kept delaying it and finally around 10 they announced that our plane had landed but there was no crew to fly us to Seattle and if they couldn't find one in 5 mins. they flight would be cancelled. So . . . the flight was cancelled-so frustrating!!! They told us that they would re-book everyone for the morning and that they would put us up in a hotel. So we were thinking that it was good that we could at least go to a hotel and get a little bit of sleep but then we found out that the hotel was in Pomona which is almost an hour away so that didn't make sense and at that point we might have just gone back home. So we called our friends Matt and Tara who live closer to the airport and they were awesome and let us stay there. We got about a total of four hours of sleep before we had to go back to the airport and get on the plane. We must say that Cayden did awesome under the circumstances but when we got here really needed to make up for the lack of sleep he had gotten. So in total it took us almost 20 hours to get to Seattle instead of 2 and all this was thanks to Delta. Not a fun experience but we are glad to finally be here with family and friends!!

Oh man! What a bummer!! I can hardly believe they were going to put you up in Pomona, that makes NO sense!! Not only is it forever away, not the greatest area either?! Glad you made it and hope you have a great time with your family. We'll be looking forward to hanging out again when you get back!!
