080928 - Philadelphia

080928 - Up and played w/ the boys while L ran in to church. She got home and we had some lunch. Then out in the backyard to throw the football and drive the gator for a bit. Then the whole fam took me to the airport to see me off. We said goodbye and Jack gave me a big monster hug that was hard to let go of. It seems that each trip gets harder and harder to go...
The flight in Columbus was delayed and I am now being rerouted to London to get to Amsterdam. This only adds 6 hours on to the flights. We finally boarded in CMH, only to be told there were delays in Philadelphia. We sat on the runway for 2 hours before we took off.
Finally made it to Philadelphia and got some food, euros and two blow up travel pillows (one for my boney butt, one for my neck). Walking around killing time before the London flight I stumbled upon this life size replica of the 'Liberty Bell' made of Legos! How cool. Well I'm on the plane now, have gentleman next to me, so it looks like this wiill be a tight flight to London...
