We had a very enjoyable evening with Rex and Gabe. Tuesday afternoon, we made good time and got to Decatur around five. Rex, Gabe, and their youngest, Cameron, were hanging out at the house and getting things together. Rex grilled some massive steaks and Gabe had some nice things to go along with them. Ther middle daughter, Stephanie, joined us after she got off work, and we all had an enjoyable time.
Rex and Gabe had to leave at about 0400 to catch a flight on American, using some of Rex’s miles. We took off about six, and it took about 1.5 hours to get to DFW, with a lot of construction on the freeways.
The flight over was not without a little pain. Checking in at DFW was an adventure. The long term parking had one or two spaces left out of thousands and we found the one at the very back of the lot. Checking our baggage proved to be the second hassle of the day. We were about lbs over on one bag and close on the other. We finally fixed the problem by me putting on my motorcycle boots and carring our Gerbings jackets.
After we met up with Rex and Gabe in Atlanta, it felt like we were finally getting our vacation started. After grabbing something to eat, we finally boarded the plane, and began sitting on there for over two hours while they tried to shut a sticky door, and reconsile a discrepancy in the fuel on board.
The flight over wasn’t too bad. KK was able to sleep almost the whole way. I listened to some Union Station, Zack Brown, and Ray LaMontaine, and watched a movie called the Adjustment Bureau.
