Back to the Children’s museum for me, Nana, Levi, Carlos and Luca on the last day we were in Montrose while Todd took Dee, Papa and Trey up to the Black Canyon for some sightseeing.

On the last day, Dee was still on the McDonald’s strawberry milkshake diet (the only thing that tasted good for her…hey, she lost 10 pounds!). We checked out of the Biker hotel in the morning (that place rocked…their sign said “Happy Harleydays” and the room fit our needs well) and went our separate ways for a little while. We met back up and spent about an hour hanging out before we had to go to the airport.

Let me tell you, it was MUCH harded travelling with three kids without my parents there to help out. Carlos fell asleep on my shoulder just before we went through security so that made that part fun. Dee took the brunt of getting the other two through and I did as much as I could with Carlos still sleeping. It was tough to say goodbye for sure, the time seemed to fly and I left feeling like I didn’t get enough time to visit. Levi and Luca really hit it off and they really could have hung out for much longer.

Anyhow, we get on the plane and our seats don’t technically exist. They rearranged some people and I ended up in the back of the plane with Carlos on my lap and Trey sitting next to me. Dee and Levi disappeared to the front of the plane, which was fine but Levi ended up sitting on her lap the whole trip since they didn’t have a seat for him (we are getting $200 in vouchers since I complained….but that’s a long story). The flight was good, we got off the plane and found a bite to eat in the Denver airport and got on our last flight. Immediately after we got to our seats, Trey peed through his diaper and onto Dee’s lap…yuck! Then he wanted to sit with me and we all ended up smelling like an old nursing home by the end of the flight. About 20 minutes before we landed, Carlos and Trey started screaming, I’m guessing their ears were hurting, I know mine were. The flight attendant came and started singing a lullabye to them and they finally settled down a little. We landed, got our bags, caught the shuttle to the car and headed to the ferry. Missed the 10:55 by 1 minute and waited until the 12:15. All in all, we started our journey at 3:00 our time, finally got home at 1:45am our time. Long day!

We truly had fun but it is good to be home, we finally got unpacked, laundry done and the house De-Christmased. Things are starting to seem back to normal and back into our little routine. Looking forward to Nana and Papa coming home tomorrow!

Footnote….traveling with three boys 3 and under is a LOT of work!
