Wa-hoo! Saturday came, the day we were leaving for L.A. Like always before vacation, I barely got any sleep the night before, kept finding more stuff to do. Saturday morning Chad took Derek to a double header game. He was already missing 2 games while we were gone and since our flight didn't leave until 5 pm he had time. In the meantime, Micki and I kept busy cleaning house and running last minute errands like take dog to kennel, stop by LL fields where Derek was playing, etc.
My girls had a softball game at 3:00 which we would miss since we had to be to the airport between 3 and 4, I left the team in my coach's capable hands and got some parents to agree to volunteer helping while I was gone. We had a bye week so I didn't have to worry about missing any more games while we were gone. At 9:00 AM I got a panicky phone call from the coach of the other team, she had thought the game was at 9:00 (we'd had a few schedule changes). I went through an hour of phone calls from her, Chad (who was at Derek's game there), the LL president (who is Derek's coach), etc. I could hear her parents yelling obscenities at her, come on people, we all make mistakes! Anyway, she got enough parents agree to come back for the game, I was so glad to miss all the fireworks, I guess there was plenty. Whew!
Chad and Derek got home from the game around 3:15 and all was packed and waiting by the door when they came in. My boss picked us up and took us to the airport around 3:45 (it's only about a mile away). There were no problems, our flight left on time, nice weather and they even served complimentary beer and wine to the adults - yippee!
Here is a picture of my neighborhood right after take-off.
I love this random pic I got of Derek watching the landscape outside the plane.
Here's my goofy girl. So much for trying to sneak a pic of her.
I love this picture of the clouds. It was such a beautiful evening, we had a lot of good shots.
Here is one of the many neat pics we got of Mount Shasta. For those who don't know, Mt. Shasta is in Northern California.
