Doug dropped me off at the airport several hours before my flight to Chicago this morning. I was thankful for the time to rest, relax and get a few things done before I left, especially since the next few days would be extremely busy. While waiting, I even had time to book our nighttime kayak tour for our trip to the Keys in June. The flight went very well. I watched a few shows on the Southwest app and worked on my Blog as well. The last half hour was a little bit bumpy, so I closed my eyes and pretended that I was riding Dinosaur in Animal Kingdom.
Meg picked me up at Midway and we headed straight to her apartment. She was in the process of finishing packing and cleaning. I started helping by taking the legs off of the table. They had decided to dispose of it and take ours once they got to Orlando. While we waited for our Chick-Fil-A to arrive, I cleaned, and Meg packed. As soon as we finished eating, we started moving boxes downstairs. I wasn't as much help as Doug would have been, but I did make ten trips up and down the stairs, plus packed the CR-V this afternoon.
Meg and I were on the road well before 5 p.m. When I first arrived, I don't think that either of us thought that we would make it out within five hours of me landing. Needless to say, we were both thrilled to be on the road and didn't even mind the rush hour traffic. Meg had been more than ready to leave Chicago, and I knew that I would never miss the three flights of steep stairs leading up to her apartment.
The rest of our night was a lot easier. We stopped by the Yoders to drop off several boxes to the truck. We were ok riding that tightly for a two-hour trip, but not a twelve hour one. Our next stop was Culvers in Goshen for dinner before heading to Grandma Jane's for the night. She and Grandpa were waiting up for us and we enjoyed catching up with them and watching Switch before going to bed for a much-needed night of sleep.
