We Made It!

Well we made it back from San Francisco last night! We left for the airport yesterday in San Fran at around noon Calgary time and arrived at our house at 9pm! Needless to say, it was a super long day! Our flight was delayed about 2 hours due to weather coming home, so that really sucked and we ended up missing Finley's swimming lesson last night. It was her first in the new season, so hopefully they don't mind tomorrow when we show up!

I was quite surprised with the level of security at the airport in San Francisco compared to the security in Calgary. Which do you think was worse? If you guessed Calgary, you were right. In Calgary, we had to empty every inch of our carry on, baby bag, and I had to take my laptop out of my laptop sleeve. Then Greg went through this intense body scanner and Finley and I got searched from a security guard. They patted down every square inch of both Finley and I. Even our hair and the bottoms of our feet. Once that was done, the scanned the hands of the agent who patted us down, then my hands and then all of my belongings before I could touch them and put them back together again. Needless to say, I was not looking forward to hitting security on the way back. Thankfully, the airport in San Francisco had a special family line which had no line, we threw our stuff in a bin, took our shoes off and walked through a machine - and were done! It was amazing! So much more efficient and effective then what we did in Calgary. We reason it was because Canada is much more worried about sending terrorists to the USA then we are about letting them in.

Anyways, Finley is at daycare today and I am trying to get over an unwanted souvenier that I brought back from California - a stupid cold! It is so awful, my head is so congested that I feel like it is going to explode! At least the stupid heartburn that has been killing me the last few days is gone! Taking the next few days to recover and relax before my sister gets here!

I am working on my observations blog, should be ready to go later today!
