Safe

We made it! All safe and sound. Well, mostly. There were several leaks in our checked bags (applesauce, conditioner, dish soap, cooking spray) as well as many crushed boxes of cereal, cookies, and other snack food. But we anticipated that to some extent.

It's been a long hard day of travel, and we're all pretty exhausted. We met at HGBC for final preparations at 3am, and by 3:45 we were on the road to Reagan National. It was close to 6:00 when we made it to the terminal and got all our bags inside. For some reason our airline was really backed up this morning. It was a mad house inside, and we waited for close to two hours before we finally got our bags checked and tickets handed out to everyone. Thankfully though, the TSA was moving people along pretty quickly and we made it to the gate just in time to board our flight to Miami. Everything else went pretty smoothly.

Thank you for all of your prayers! To my knowledge, the only prayer request we have now is for a speedy recovery from travel exhaustion.
