Returning Home...back to Spokane

Well, Mom and I got up...I finished packing...we stopped at R and M Bakery to get some of my favorite sugar cookies and then to the shop to say goodbye to my dad...and then we headed to Columbus to meet my friend Liz for breakfast at First Watch (a restaurant I miss from my Cincinnati days)...I got the usual...the Power Wrap...so good! And we sat and visited for awhile. Then we said our goodbyes and mom and I headed to Easton to go to Trader Joe's to get some snacks for my trip! There were so many good things...I settled on grapes, string cheese, banana and some dark chocolate covered pretzels...YUMMY! I also had some left over spaghetti from Olive Garden with me...and an apple. So I felt like I had enough food to avoid buying a lot at the airport. We stopped at the post office to ship my extra stuff...and then mom dropped me off at the airport! Ah...it was such a quick trip but I felt like I did so much! Of course my trip home wasn't so easy...I missed my connection in Detroit by minutes...and had to wait to leave for Minneapolis until 6:15pm...and then only had to go from there to Spokane rather than go to Seattle as well...but I got in about 11pm...tired and ready to sleep. Tim met me at the airport...and we went home and to bed! WHEW what a trip!
