Catching an Earlier Flight

Last night while we were at Crazy Cucumber eating dinner, Cameron and I started talking about changing his flight to an earlier time today.  He had had a great week with us and was glad to have celebrated Meg's birthday with her, but his flight this afternoon didn't land until after 6 and that wouldn't give him time to unpack, go grocery shopping and unwind.  Since Meg and Nick were leaving for Magic Kingdom early tomorrow, it made sense to Doug and I to find an earlier flight for him.  We started searching right away and found there was one in the morning that worked perfectly.  It didn't have any standard seats left, but there was one for a slight upcharge in the third row by the window and we booked that right away.

This morning, Doug, Cameron and I were on the road by 8:15 a.m. anticipating spring break traffic on I-75.  Thankfully, there was none and our drive was a smooth one.  We enjoyed our last few hours with Cameron talking about our spring break fun, his plans for the rest of the semester and his thoughts on his internship this summer.  Cameron arrived in plenty of time to get through TSA, find his gate and relax for a few minutes before boarding.  I was happy to see that his flight was on time during our quiet drive back to Ocala.

Meg and Nick had already left for Orlando when we arrived back home.  It was a quiet afternoon, but after a busy week, it was just what we needed.  We went grocery shopping, picked up the house, did a few things around the yard, and spent quite a bit of time relaxing.  Cameron texted to let us know that he had made it back safely to Indiana.  Meg also called to tell us about her birthday in Magic Kingdom.  They especially loved the new Pirates of the Caribbean themed restaurant "Beak N Barrell."  I was glad that everyone had enjoyed their day and that Meg had had a wonderful birthday celebration.
