...Except for Mom, who had to begrudgingly spill over into an extra bag, because she couldn't pull off toiletries, extra snacks & clothes, shoes, etc. for a wedding, in addition to all other traveling occasions. All bags were stacked & ready, & most household loose ends were tied, or eventually will be tied due to a sweet friend acting on my behalf in my absence!
Our departure was met with excessive giggles & loud excitement as kids delighted in yelling, "goodbye house!!! NOT coming home soon!!" They had had that mostly rare, excessive patience & kindness with each other most of the morning & into the afternoon; they were all so giddy & distracted in their overwhelming anticipation, that they couldn't help themselves & simply had to extend grace & kindnesses in ways & places where they wouldn't typically; it was beautiful & reassuring to see that it CAN actually happen!!! :-)
"And the Wright family will fly too! Pass it on!" Camden yells as we pass through DIA.
