My Mommy Said They'll Be Days Like This...

Today was a very long day.

Good news is...

I am home!

We got off to a rocky start 

with a 2 hour drive in So Cal 

traffic to the Long Beach Airport.

 We arrived hoping we had enough 

time to make our flight but soon 

found out our flight was delayed 4 hours!

Mommy and daddy stayed cool, calm, and collected.

They thought about our options, they made phone calls,

and they discussed amongst themselves...

Mommy came up with the winning plan~

Stay in the LBC, find a Starbucks to give us all

a little fuel (I am obsessed with the warm apple cider and coffee cake),

and then head to the Aquarium of the Pacific.  

We even called Aunt Jen to see if she could join us 

(once upon a time she worked there) but she pulled a few strings 

and got us in free!  Thanks Aunt Jen!  

While driving there, I fell asleep. 

 Mommy wanted me to get in a little nap 

and allow daddy time to make a few work phone calls... 

So, she sat in the car with me while I snoozed!

We then found out our flight was delayed another 45 minutes!

Oh, well!  What can you do but make the best out of a crummy

situation?  After an hour nap, mommy and daddy

and I headed for the aquarium.  It truly brightened our day!

I saw sea otters, seals, sea lions, rays, jelly fish, an array 

of sharks, and sea life.  I even enjoyed their Lorikeet Forest.

After spending time there we headed back to the airport, got on

our flight and headed home.  When we landed at the airport 

daddy had to scramble to catch a flight to 

Dallas for work (poor daddy)

and mommy and I scurried into a cab. 

(The first cab we tried to get in wouldn't take us because

 we were waiting for daddy to bring us our bags!)

AHHHHHHHHHHH!

Just like this song, 

my mommy said they'll be days like this!

We just wanted to get home...

and we did.  Now we are off

to have bubble baths and bed.

Wishing y'all sweet dreams!
