We are on the mainland!!

Well, after a long wonderfully peaceful flight, we arrived in Seattle!!  As we look for our 15 bags on 3 different carosels, my 3 wonderful children wait with great patience.  The kids were so good I was a little worried that the wheels were soon to fall off the bus!!  But I'm the only one that lost patience! Go figure.  After renting 3 carts to carry our 24 bags (15 checked bags and 9 carry ons) I dumped a whole cart of bags in the middle of the road and had to pick them up while shuttle buses had to wait.  Then we waited 1 1/2 hours for the holiday inn shuttle!! But we are here safe and secure eating our first meal in Washington.  Guess where???  Denny's!! No more complaining, the best story on the plane obviously included Emma!!  As we were landing Emma began saying in a very loud tone I can't hear, her ears were plugged from the altitude. So she just kept saying louder and louder, until the flight attendant stopped by to show Emma how to clear her ears and Emma pinched her nose and looked at the nice lady like she was crazy.  Now it's off to bed!!  Goodnight, tomorrow is picking up the van!  Pray for patience!!
