We left on our trip to Washington on Tuesday morning, May 13, around 8 AM, driving for about 7 hours to reach our first destination in Indiana. We only had about a half an hour to run around and eat some real food before leaving for the Indianapolis airport. Traffic wasn't too bad, and we got there in plenty of time to deal with baggage claim and get a pass for Mom M. to help me through security. I also stopped along the way in Michigan to buy a sit-n-stand stroller that I could stuff all three kids on to get through the airport. I'll spare you all the gory details, but we eventually did make it through the two red-eye flights and the switch in Denver to reach Portland at about 11:30 pacific time (which felt like 2:30 am to us!)and got in to Mom and Dad's about 1 am and went straight to bed! The time change was sudden and complete! The next day we spent some time out on the deck meeting the little cousins and reaquainting ourselves with the older ones we haven't seen in almost 18 months!
