Leaving on a Jet Plane

We got home from Bear Lake with just enough time to drop off the kids, grab Samantha's pre-packed suitcase and head to the airport to send her off to Chicago to visit Grandpa Quincy and Granny Franny. She definitely got the princess treatment - since she was traveling alone, we got to move to the front of the enormous security line. I was a little nervous about sending her off on her own, but she couldn't get on the plane fast enough once they opened the doors. She didn't even pause long enough for us to get a picture of her - just turned and walked off with her suitcase and American Girl doll in hand. We had to settle for pictures of her plane instead.
I was glad that she arrived safely and didn't get sick on the plane. And I know she is currently having the time of her life wandering through the American Girl store. (She called me.) She is in the perfect place for a 10 year old girl. Plus she 's got some other fun things on her itinerary. We'll just have to plan some fun things, too so we don't feel like we're missing out too much.
