well we made it to South Carolina on Wed. at 11am.....boy what a trip we had! We left for LAX at 5pm tuesday night, and finally got there and through security with our tickets at 8:30pm. We killed about 45min. bought some water and started a 5 hr plane ride to Maryland......red eye flights and small children is an interesting combination! we let the kids have a snack and do some coloring and then told them it was time for bed. Rob ended up with Samantha in his lap her feet laying across into her seat and him trying to sleep sitting up holding her. I ended up with matthew, we were in a two seat row, so I put the arm up inbetween us and used the outside isle arm rest for my back and streached my lets out toward the window so as not to be in the path of passangers going to the potty, and matthew layed ontop of me curled up. that lasted about 2 1/2 hrs. after which time I couldn't feel my lowerback or feet any more! we only had about 45 min to landing so I sat up and just held matthew untill we started our decent. We had a 4 hr layover in Baltimore, so we grabbed two HUGE COFFEE'S and a danish for the kids. I pulled out the granola bars, apple, and pretzles and peanut butter with grahmcrackers and we had a little makeshift breakfast. It was 6:30am local time and 3:30am in California! about 8am after touring our terminal and visiting two diffrent bathrooms as well as coloring and listening to music/playing solitare on the computer, we were all about wiped out. Rob and I sat back to back with our legs laying across the attched seats next to us, over the arm rest. We each took a kid, I got samantha this time........and the kids and daddy slept for about 1 1/2 hrs. at this point my back hurt so bad, I couldn't sleep. Once we got on the plane, we had 3 seats together and one way out of the way, so Rob let me have it since at this point it was 7am CA time and I had been up 24hrs minus my little nap. I got an 1 1/2 hr nap on the trip into Charlotte and I was SO greatful!!!
We had an uneventful and very happy trip to Jens house in sumter, she and I chatted the whole way while the rest of my family conked out!
So we are here, we are having lots of fun, and good food! tomarrow we leave for Myrtle Beach for the day Rob is very happy to be experiencing the east coast beach after a life on the west coast!
Oh BTW I went to a W.W meeting before I left and I had lost another 3.2 lbs!!!!!! so I'm down to alittle over 19lbs lost! whooo hooo. My goal for this week is just not to gain anything :)
