We had 4 children, 2 adults, 16 pieces of check on luggage (including the 3 car seats), 8 carry-ons and 1 giant car seat. In the shuttle we had all 4 car seats lined up in the back and the kids loved it!
As usual Spencer took care of everyone (check out their hair - there was so much static even AJ's few little strands stood on end):
I must admit, I was feeling pretty good about the day of travel when AJ slept in and took a great nap before getting on the shuttle to DTW. He had a blast with Spencer on the shuttle, but the minute we got into the airport, he threw a fit and if you know AJ you know what I mean by "a fit". For those of you that don't know him that means among other things, ear piercing shreiking, a crimson face and violent shaking. Fun! This was the first of many including several on the plane. He threw the mother of all fits when he didn't want to sit in his car seat and stiffened his body so that I could not get the straps buckled - I thought for sure people were going to start throwing things at us. At that point I am not sure who was more red, AJ or me. It was a long flight made longer by a 1 hour delay on the runway, but we landed without being pelted by other passengers.
Amazingly, we made it off the plane and through customs, only to arrive to a "frozen Britain". The BBC was abuzz with the biggest snow storm since 1965. Can you believe it? So much for saying good-bye to the snow.
