Airport Excitement! p2

Can barely hold in the excitement.

Mom and I were sitting next to a family that consisted of a Mom, a toddler daughter and a teenage daughter. They were all so beautiful and speaking a different language. I thought they looked French, but I don't think they were speaking French. The youngest daughter was performing ballet steps routines and positions and looking to her older sister for guidance. Just the first of thousands of people we became acquainted with on our travels.


PARIS?! I thought we were going to Italy...

A lady that was sitting next to us waiting for the plane to board was actually going to Paris. She lived there. She had lived tons of places, and was most recently visiting her son in Lousianna and attending her late husband's funeral. She was returning to her house in Paris, alone. She had the most positive outlook on life I could imagine. She was extremely friendly and visited with Mom about the places they had been, and where they wanted to go next. She also suggested a certain purse designer that she loved.


amusing ourselves in the airport

I was showing mom how to take a picture of us without having to ask someone else. We waited patiently and anxiously in the Houston Airport. Kids were running around and we were happy about them wearing themselves down before boarding the plane.


This is the 'before' shot.

The Bradfords were so nice to give us a ride to and from the airport. And so nice to take this first picture of us on our way. Look how light we packed. Mom's just got a tiny backpack and a carry-on. I just have my blue backpack and a duffel-ish bag.
