More Home Sweet Home!

Ok, so we're at the hotel. We didn't rent a car because we were down town Indianapolis and could walk everywhere. Our hotel had a sky walk to the convention center and the mall. Great! Our double stroller was wonderful. I really think that I will take a stroller everywhere I go even when the kids are too old for it. I can't imagine having to carry my purse and coffee and or water and shopping bags. I know everyone says it's so freeing when your kids are old enough that you don't have to take a stroller everywhere, but I don't think I'm going to like it! The speakers were great at the convention. And trying new restaurants was fun. And walking everywhere was really cool. That is the most I have ever used crosswalks in my life! Nap time was awful. The boys don't nap at the same time unless the moon is aligned with the stars and the ocean and everything in between. And even when that miracle happens, Tyler only sleeps for about 20 mins. So, Derek had to take Tyler out of the room and just walk around the hotel while Tyson slept. Tyler had started to crawl the week before we left, which wasn't good. I wouldn't let him down on the hotel room floor, so he couldn't crawl the entire time we were gone. It was our arms or the stroller for him. Oh yeah, we did let him crawl on the bed. He only fell off once. Derek's mom lives about 2 1/2 hours from Indi, so she drove down and spent a day with us. That was nice. She sat in the room while Tyson took his nap, which freed us up to go to the convention together. We had to take Tyler, but at least we didn't have Tyson!!!! He was horrible. We didn't get enough sleep and he fell out of the bed about 5 times the first night. He was shouting no and whining a lot. But enough about our angel! We got to go and vote for Dr. Johnny Hunt for SBC President and he won!!!! It's now time to check out of the hotel. We had late check out which was 1pm. Great! The cab situation was about the same as coming from the airport. Derek had to convince the guy that we and our luggage would all fit. Derek said our flight was at 5 and he wanted to be at the airport by 2:30 or 3:00. Fine! I would rather get there just in the nick of time to board the plane. You know, when they're calling your name over the loudspeaker. But whatever! So we get there at 2:45. The cab drops us off and Derek has a funny look on his face. I ask him what is wrong and he responded, "You're going to kill me." He had been thinking of a different flight that he almost booked and our actual flight wasn't until 8pm. So we were 5 hours early. They wouldn't even check our luggage. So we had to walk around the airport with ALL our luggage for a while. Freakshow! The airport had a mini spa in it and Derek arranged for me to have a massage while we waited. That was great! I forgave him after that. But it only took up 1/2 an hour of our 5 hours of earliness. Well, we managed to board the plane and get home without any major meltdowns, from anyone! We were so glad to be home!!!
