Day 356: Ohio Bound Just in Time for Snow!

Good morning!  We were up bright and early this morning to get ready for our travels.  Daddy and I were up at 3:30 AM and we let Little Buddy "sleep in" until 4 AM, which is about when Uncle C got there.  Little Buddy was still a little sleepy when we got him up, but when we asked him if he remembered where we were going today, he immediately answered, "Plane!"  This was followed up quickly by shouts of "Mamaw and Papaw" and "Mimi and Pop-Pop!"  I think he was a little excited.  :)

Wide awake and raring to go!

Little Buddy was a great traveler today.  He worked out some energy in the terminals and was willing to quietly watch some Elmo on the iPad during the flights.  I was pretty proud of what a trooper he was for such a long trip.

Wheeling through the airport with Daddy.

Cheese!



 
Headed on his way.

 Happy little traveler!  He insisted on wearing his Santa hat for most of the trip.  He was so cute and spread a lot of Christmas cheer to everyone he saw.

His only nap of the day, all 20 minutes of it.  Again, I was pretty impressed with how well he did, especially considering his lack of sleep.

Little Buddy even earned his wings on this flight!

We made it safely to Cleveland, but then the real fun started.  The snow storm had hit and, although it was beautiful, the roads got worse as the night, and the drive, went on.

Leaving the rental car area and preparing to drive in all the white stuff.

This picture doesn't do it justice, but it was snowing pretty good and the roads were slick.  For a good part of the drive we were only going about 15 mph.  It took us nearly 2 hours to go 50 miles.  

But thankfully Mamaw and Papaw had picked us up some Donatos pizza for when we finally arrived.  We were hungry!  Little Buddy was so happy to see Mamaw and Papaw, as well as Mimi and Pop-Pop, who had driven up to get Uncle C.  He was over the moon to have all the people that loved him in one room!  His excitement was through the roof!

We are looking forward to a few days in Canton and then some time in Marietta.  It would be great if this snow stayed for awhile.  I am hoping to get Little Buddy some play time in this snow!


Night all,
