Parallel Trip

Dave missed his flight with Eva on to San Diego on Thursday morning.  He’s pretty notorious for missing flights by now, but I was surprised it was possible even when I was there to be the anal-retentive rule follower who wants to be at the airport with time to spare.  It’s a long story…but suffice it to say, when you leave no room for error, it only takes one to screw up the whole plan.  Luckily for us, Alaska Air allowed him on a later flight with no extra charge, because we certainly couldn’t have afforded another ticket!   Dave called Nanci to let her know he was going to be late, but apparently forgot he’d double-booked Xavier to pick him up as well.  Xavier sent Amber, who took Michayla out of school early for the special occasion of meeting “Uncle Dave” at the airport, only to find he wasn’t there.  Oops!  Needless to say, we’ve agreed that the wives will be arranging the rides from now on.  J

 

Even with the hiccup in getting there, I hear they had a great time.  Dave took lots of video of Eva playing at the beach, with Nanci’s dogs, and at Grandma’s house in her new summer outfits.  San Diego looks as warm and sunny as I remember, and everyone looks like they haven’t changed a bit.  I look forward to going again as a family in August, so I can visit with everyone, and they can see Amanda, too.
