Originally, Brett was supposed to pick Cameron up at the Indianapolis airport yesterday when he landed. Brett had had the day off because he had a dentist appointment in the morning, so the timing was perfect. Unfortunately, winter storm Blair threw a wrench in our plans. Monroe County was listed in the red for travel warnings until 9 PM last night, which was also when the snowplows finally took a pass at Brett’s apartment complex parking lot.
Cameron had said that he could wait at the airport until Brett was free. I also knew that we could put him up in a hotel close to the airport until he could take the shuttle the next morning back to Bloomington. He and I had already decided that we were going to cancel his haircut and dental appointments for this week in Syracuse as the weather wasn’t cooperating with a trip north.
While Cameron was waiting at the airport gate in Orlando yesterday, he texted Cora about his situation. Although the solution that we had come up with was good one, it would have meant for a lot of downtime in the Indianapolis airport or an overnight stay with not much for Cameron to do. Cora and her dad decided that they would just come and get Cameron so that he could spend the night at their house. I was incredibly thankful that they offered to do that. I knew as a family that we would do the same thing but hated imposing on someone else. Cameron said that they were happy to have him there, and that the roads north of Indy were nothing like the ones that Brett was dealing with back in Bloomington. I was extremely thankful to hear that all went well with Cameron's trip to Indianapolis and very glad that they would also be able to take Cora and Cameron back to Bloomington tomorrow so that they could get ready for spring semester. Cameron decided the best way to thank them was with Crumbl cookie. I couldn’t have agreed more.
