Getting to know the Minneapolis Airport

It's snowing in Minnesota. After getting up WAY too early, making Grant take us to the airport, making it on the plane (after almost fighting with the boarding lady, who told each of us we would have to choose either our purse OR our carry-on bag WHEN THE FLIGHT WASN'T EVEN FULL - needless to say, she did NOT get one of our flight attendant goodie bags), and sleeping on the plane... we're here. For quite a while.

Whitters is ALREADY antsy, and we've been at the airport for only an hour. We have 6 more hours to go on this layover, so cross your fingers that I can keep her entertained. I think we'll have a Turkish language lesson or do data entry. Aren't you jealous? We've had coffee, read the Sunday NY Times, and have now created a blog to talk about our adventures (or help take up some of our waiting time). You're welcome.

Our next goal is to find a Starbucks. We have 360 minutes to do so.

Happy Easter! OH that reminds me - I was still asleep waiting on the plane after we landed in Minne, dozing in and out, while we hung out on the tarmac, until Whitters hit me and told me to look out the window. The Easter Bunny was running in the snow talking to all the field crew. Weird.

(Happy Birthday, Mom!)
