Travel Time

We arrived at the Phx airport checked our Lizzie luggage which I'd say is at least 20Lbs heavier ha ha ha, then we headed to our gate but along the way we rode the escalator and the walking strips a 100 times :-), got a chocolate chocolate latte drink (Yep without coffee) and settled in to wait for our plane. Liz was in a mellow, sad, happy mood she was so excited to see her mommy, Nannie & pa pa and just couldn't wait to snuggle with lucky dog; but ohhhhh she didn't want to leave Arizona - very hard day to not just call Nikki and say can I please have one more week? but I knew that Nikki could hardly wait one more day for this amazing, smart, beautiful, crazy, loving, happy (get my point) sweet brown eyed, brown hair daughter of god..

Well on the plane we had to try out the bathroom at least twice and we had our ice water, ginger ale, snacks watched a movie and played Liz Dora on her D.S.



We arrived in Pittsburgh and Nikki was there waiting at our gate - Liz saw her mom and instantly all her sadness of leaving the "boys" was gone she lit up the entire place.


I had about an two hours before my plane returned back to Arizona so we went to baggage picked up Liz bag in which she wheeled out to the car. We came back in and had lunch and then they walked me to security.

Lizzie said grandma are you going to cry? I could see the tears welled up in her eyes and I said yep I am going to cry all the way back to Arizona. I love this precious little girl and her mom Nikki - I am so grateful for Nikki letting us share this wonderful month with Lizzie here in Arizona along with all the precious memories that we now have.

So the drive home is nothing to talk about - lots of tears and sniffles.
