We made it

Well we finally made it. It was a long ol journey from Norfolk to Los Angeles. Dee's brother and his wife Emily drove us to the airport the day before and we stayed in a stinky travelodge overnight. It was a early wake up call to get to the airport and Dillon was so excited about going on the plane he didn't stop talking for...well he just didn't stop talking. Because of the ash cloud we had to fly a bit southwards first to avoid it thus extending a already long flight to about 12 hours! That's a direct flight as well. Dillon was really good for about the first 9.5 hours and even managed to sleep a bit but then really started to loose it. He repeated for a half an hour straight that he wanted to get off the plane and go home now. We finally distracted him with a cake making game we found on our computer. The next 2.5 hours were the longest ever! They only fed us twice as well! It was all crap food I could hardly eat as well and was staving by the time we got off. We all managed to pick up a cough due to germs and lack of sleep but thankfully Dillon and I managed to sleep 12 hours last night and feel a bit better. Poor Dee feel asleep at 8:30pm and woke at like 2:30am though so he is gonna drag this afternoon. All in all we are doing good and are at our friends Deanna and Emma's even though they aren't here!

Monday MRI in Mexico. Flippin scared about that one.
