Off we go!

11/20/11

And so it begins! Josh and I are on the road and making our way back to California. We’re hoping to make it back by Thursday afternoon for Thanksgiving so let’s keep our fingers crossed. 

Per usual, LAX was a pain to get to; running late and slightly hungover, we were rushing to get to our gate on time. The pain of having to pass through security was enough to get us both at our wits end but we made it through and our first order of business was to get a drink, eat and relax before our flight. I’m not sure that in any other normal circumstance that having a bloody mary with a bagel and cream cheese would make for an appetizing meal but I was desperate and hey, I love my bloody mary’s. 

6 hours in the air later, we finally arrived in Baltimore last night around 9. Having spent the last 4 hours listening to a doctor talk about the best herbal remedies and his “oh so fantastic” travels to Brazil, we were ready to get off that plane. 

Edith, Josh’s grandma, picked us up and we grabbed a bite at the Honey Bee Diner. It was a welcome sight as we hadn’t eaten anything since LAX. It’s miserable to fly for hours and not even have a little pack of peanuts to keep you going. I sincerely miss those packets.  Once at Oma’s house, we were greeted by a crescendo of dogs barks and howls. Patches, Rosie, Joshyko, Lisa, and Jacky were curious who their new guests were. Oma loved her new photo album of the Borden family and I was thankful for a bed. 

See you in the AM and goodnight everybody!
