Love SW with kids! Flight Attendants really are the best. Although-in 2004 we flew Delta for our trip to WDW-and the flight attendants were the absolute best ever with the kids on a flight-maybe because of slow time (feb) and nearly empty flight, but one of them took the girls to the galley and fed them warm chocolate chip cookies and entertained them for an hour. She said she missed her grandbabies - I wish I could have been adopted by her. The only time I have ever written a letter to an airline to praise an employee(we have had many good experiences on several airlines that I wish I had followed up on, but this one really stands out).
We snagged a credit for the 2 going down later in August (yay!) but November flights have remained ridiculous-so I think we are driving. We would have needed to rent a car anyway. And I LOVE Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy!
Oh yes-have a 14 year old girl myself (and survived her older sister). Although she has been surprisingly pleasant so far this summer-maybe because she is worn out from PE (summer school) and band? And swimming when we can fit it in. And she knows she has to be nice or I will cancel her Fight of Passage FP (yep-that is a real threat! If it gets me through the summer call me all the bad momma names you want LOL).
Hot, humid typical MO summer here now. Knew the nice low humidity couldn't last. Garden looks to be quite fruitful-already harvested bushel of green beans (ate those tonight as had an extra extra kid). Brownies cooling down now.
So-Mom in law emailed me about weeklong (cheap) getaway vacations at our favorite Marriott resort in Orlando-we already have first weekend in October booked (just missing Lynne)-If she wants to go a week I am game-and maybe finally have a meetup as it will be long enough to hit UO! Can stay a week in 2 bed Grande Vista for 1/2 what we are paying for 5 days at POP...
Happy late Bday to

I think middles orthodontist bought a boat with our payments...hope things get better soon!
