West Virginia, Part I

Our Trip, as seen through Tai's eyes:

Major excitement at the presence of tunnels and overpasses in Boston. We just don't have those things out here in cow-country. "Mama! Another tunnel!"

Upon arrival at the Logan Economy Parking Lot: "I can't see West Virginia! Where is it?"

Hanging out at Logan: pizza, smoothies, rides on the escalator, chocolate from grampy, and watching plane after plane take off. Sitting on the tarmac: "Are we taking off yet?"

In flight (at naptime): shoes off, headphones on, channel surfing on his own private TV. Snacking on water and Jet Blue cookies. Tired, but too excited to sleep.

Rides in the hotel elevator, "Which number you want? Up or down?"

A bowl full of hard candy in the hotel lobby......so many flavors, so little time.

Swimming in the (outdoor) hotel pool until his lips turned blue.

At the wedding: (loudly, during the ceremony) "Are they married yet? Why are they getting married? Why are they doing rings? Where's the dancing part?"

At the National Zoo, "Daddy, look! Pigeons! This is a special treat to see all these birds."

Tuesday morning. K to T: "Today we're going to the airport to get on a plane and fly home. A Jet Blue plane." T to K: "Oh!! I LOVE Jet Blue planes!"

Sitting on the tarmac in DC for way too long: "Are we taking off yet? Will there be a snack this time? Where's the snack? I see the engine!"

Five minutes into the drive from Logan to South Hadley: sound asleep in his car seat.
