We three bravely headed out on our first family vacation- to bring some cheer and surprise to an important celebration- Grandpa Jones turned 70!
We planned weeks in advance. Got the OK from the pediatrician and a couple flu shots. Packed the night before (for the first time ever). Covered ourselves in hand sanitizer and left for the airport a good 6 hours before the flight!!!
We had an easy trip to Sioux Falls. Grandma Ginger thought she was picking up only Jason from the airport and was SURPRISED TO TEARS when Jyoti and Olin snuck up on her at baggage claim. Grandpa Ron played it cool- but I know he was surprised and very happy to meet his granddaughter for the first time. What a birthday present! Don't expect anything this good next year! Aunt Stacia and cousins Abby and Nate also got to meet Olin- and give her a warm welcome.
Travelers can still enjoy even on a tight budget. Just try to do some research on cheap airfare since most airlines offer lower price. Doing some outdoor activity can also save some penny. Enjoying the scenery is an adventure itself.

Yes Grandpa Ron was surprised, I asked Olin if she was in on this and she winked and smiled at me. What a gift!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! You had a successful flight! Our first one will be at the end of October (to visit Cory in Portland) and then in November to Florida for Thanksgiving with family back there. I love your sling :)
