No sleep till Philly 😆

 Wednesday I packed and repacked and melted down and eventually decided that I could not deal with just carry-on luggage. But by the time I was all done packing and hugging kids and Grandma and getting ready to go, it was time to go, at 3:30AM. Jon slept a bit while I was finishing up getting ready to go.  

We made it to the airport (Thank you Lisa!!!) and checked Jay's booster seat box and our big suitcase. We had time to grab some breakfast at Starbucks (Thank you Shannon!!!) And hang at the gate for a bit.  

Jay was excited to be on the plane but very upset when she realized she needed to go potty but had to wait until the seat belt sign went off. 

Once we took off and got her to the bathroom we settled in.  I fell soundly asleep, so much so that Jay moved everything off my tray and climbed over me and went back to the bathroom. I woke up while she was gone and panicked because I couldn't find her!  Jon knew she had gone so it was ok, but safe to say I was exhausted! 

As we were landing in Philly Jay saw these and said, "OOOO CAKE!!!!" 😂🥰. She also loved landing, every quick up and down movement she'd loudly squeal "WHEEEE" 😂 She had Jon and I cracking up! 

Llama Bean also loved flying.

After we landed we went to our hotel and got settled in.  Then we headed to the Red Cross building about 20min away for Jon and I to give blood for her surgery, assuming she's the same blood type as us, fingers crossed.  Jay fell asleep on that ride.  

It's interesting to see the difference in cultures and signage from west to east coast. This sign is one Jon and I've never seen before. 

After giving blood we headed back to the hotel and ordered food in. Jay got a burger as big as her face! She's got leftovers!!  Jon and I got a REALLY spicy pizza! It was good, but burned!!! We also got coleslaw, it was delicious!! 

Then we all passed out. Jaylia is still asleep and it's almost 11:30AM now. We have an appt at 1 with her neurosurgeon so we have to get going here soon.  The hotel has a shuttle to the hospital so that will be helpful!
