WASHINGTON DULLES Intl airport (IAD)

WE MADE IT! We are officially in DC! This plane was a lot bigger but somehow managed to have smaller seating. (Efficiency of transportation I guess) The plane had these cool little “tv’s” in front of each seat that we could watch our flight progress and stats in route. I think that’s pretty interesting. Meanwhile, we of course had to eat some cute mini Doritos. They’re better when they’re mini fyi 😂. Since this was a longer flight, I had plenty of time to read, get some pretty cool sunset pictures, obviously played mini uno! The flight attendant thought they were funny.

After we arrived at the airport we had no clue where to go so we had to ask people just a few times to lead us in the right direction. lol. This airport had a cool light bridge that we went over and was the biggest airport out of the three we stopped in today.

We made it to IAD in spite of delays at JAX due to weather. While we made a valiant effort to make our flight to Brussels, including sprinting down the concourse with our heavy hiking packs on our backs.

Instead, we are headed to London and then onto Lyon.

At IAD, we ate burgers and fries and frozen mango lemonade. We both agree that our fruitless sprint has done something terrible to our lungs because we both sound like smokers.

Waiting for our flight to London. Way past our usual bedtime. We are ridiculously tired, especially after running from one terminal to another (with our backpacks) to try to make our connection. We did not make it. So, we are waiting for a 10 pm flight to London.

Picked kids up early from school for 5:15 flight on United to Denver.

Notes for next year:

1) check flights to Eagle

We set out for 8:25am flight but they found a cracked part in the airplane so we had to deplane until part arrived from NYC. We ended up leaving at 1pm. But we were happy to arrive at Miami.

Arriving home 7-ish. United flight. Good time to arrive home! Excellent trip for everyone!
