So, we didn't make it back to MN yesterday, but our bags did. Here is the story...
We got to the airport with Adam's mom. Adam and Charlayne parked and checked our four XL duffel bags while I circled Logan about six times. (Sidenote: Caleb kept saying, "Look at that giant, glass trampoline, Mom." A feature of one of the airport hotels. Little did he know it was the same one every time he saw it.)
We emptied the rental, and I went to return it. We got back and said goodbye to Gramma w/dogs. Then, we went through security, had lunch, and waited at the gate. We asked if the flight was full as we always do, in the hopes of getting "bumped." In the past, when we have gotten bumped, we receive a complimentary plane ticket to anywhere in the continental US for our trouble. They said, "Yes." And we volunteered to get bumped.
Long story short...we didn't get complimentary tickets, but got vouchers toward the purchase of tickets for the future. This means that Uncle Travis, Auntie Sarah, Cousin Brody, and Cousin Aili can come visit us this summer! YAY!
We re-rented a car and realized that we had no money and no debit card and no way to get to Boston from the airport because of the toll tunnels and toll bridges. So, I called my friend Kim who lives outside of Boston and bummed some money off her. She is so great. We got to see her husband and daughter. It all worked out.
We got back to RI and Heather loaned us some clothes so we could wash the ones we had been in all day. Thanks Heather!!
We had a nonstop flight back to Minneapolis, and when we arrived, it was snowing! What happened to the order we put in for all the snow gone and 50 degrees?
