Komarnicki Kids

Last Sunday, we were up early again, but this time it was on purpose. The kids did wake up somewhat early and crawled into bed with us. Luckily, this time, they went back to sleep until we had to wake them up. We had to leave for the airport at 8 am, so thanks to our kids, the whole house was awake pretty early. This was good though because Addison and Fischer got to play with their cousins for awhile before having to leave.

We returned our rental car, rode a shuttle bus to the airport, checked in and headed to the security line. We were expecting the worst, since the line we saw when we landed on Friday was really long. However, we were pleasantly surprised that USAirways has a family line! So, we got to jump to the head of the line and we were done with security pretty quickly.

This was good, but it was also bad because now we had A LOT of time until our plane boarded. We decided to head to our gate just to see where it was and then we were going to figure out what to do. While we were walking, we happened to pass a play area. YES!!!!! We stopped there and the kids played for about an hour. It was awesome, and pretty much a life saver. We took a quick break to go get some pizza then headed back to play some more.

When it was getting close to boarding time, we headed to our gate. Fortunately there was an empty seating area close to our gate so the kids had a great time climbing all over the seats. Then, it was time to board! This time, we were sitting 2 on one row and 2 on the row behind. I sat with Addison and Scott with Fischer. Scott got the better end of the deal this time - Fischer slept the entire flight. Addison didn't sleep at all but was very tired which led to sevreal meltdowns. She didn't want to be buckled up, she wanted me to hold her (I couldn't because we were about to land and she had to stay in her seat)... every little thing was setting her off! Luckily she wasn't too loud so I don't think we interrupted anyone's flight.

Finally we were back in Charlotte. Like I said, Addison was so tired. She was fast asleep before we were even out of the parking garage. Overall, the kids did great with the traveling and all of the fun! We are hoping to be able to visit again soon!
