Our last day. It truly was a great trip and we enjoyed the best of both worlds...seeing family and also just having some time just the five of us.
We headed out early to make the 2.5 hour drive back to San Diego and made it to Uncle George and Auntie Shelia's by 10:30AM. It was great to spend some time with them and letting the kids run off some energy before our flight home. I am sad we didn't get a picture of us all with them - next time!
Drew had 4 upgrade coupons that had to be used by the end of the year and our flight was eligible so he upgraded us all for the way home. Seriously spoiled little kids! It was nice however to have a bunch of extra leg room. The boys were fabulous on the way home. We had told them if they were going to sit up front they had to be super good. Eliza was great but just wanted to move. I spent a lot of time walking Eliza up and down the aisles. She made a lot of friends, stopping every couple of rows to chat to someone.
Sam loved sitting up in business class. He totally got it and knew it was something special. At one point he whispered to me and said "Mom, I feel like a king up here - the king of the air!"
Apparently Eliza was the queen of the air too because when she was not walking around she was sitting in my chair while I knelt beside her. She was so good on the flight but I tell you, I feel like I worked pretty hard to keep her happy!
We are so glad we took this trip - we left CA with so many great memories!
