On Friday morning, we were ready to leave a few minutes before wheels up time
when from the door
emerged Jane
and we were off. We were early to pick up Sarah and so went to
the WaWa where we saw Bill Flemmer
and then returned to where Suzanne and Ben
were watching Sarah
emerge ready to go. We were excited that E Z Pass worked
and made our way to the parking lot
where we left the car
and headed to the terminal
where Ben
and Jane
dug into a sandwich as Sarah
and Suzanne
had coffee and I took this self portrait
before taking Jane back
for another sandwich. And wise they were to eat because this meal
was hardly satisfying as we flew through and those across the aisle
and on my side
were happy when we were wheels down
and could make our way through the terminal
trying to get pictures of Republicans
returning from the convention as our bags
accumulated and we headed off on the rental car bus
to the Hertz counter
where our agent
was training a new agent
and the supervisor
insisted that we had to photograph him as well. Once we got into the car
we were ready to explore our part of Dallas including the gas prices
and road signs
before we got to the hotel and saw Dick and Larry
in the parking lot as Dick did his hostage imitation
and Larry
got ready for a busy weekend bringing the bowls up to the room.
We started to get our bags
and met Fran
as this man
checked us into the room and remembered us for later. We rode the elevator up
and saw our room
and bed
with a good view
and the entry of the hotel
and downtown Dallas
in the distance.
Ben
relaxed as Dansyl
came to visit and Jane
and Sarah
(in better pose)
visited before we found the elevator
and headed up to see Larry and Janet
where the bowls were
and Larry showed us to the hospitality suite where there was water
wine
soda
and more wine
and munchies
but we decided to beg off and head for dinner.
Dinner was at the Trevi
the hotel's restaurant hosted by Dansyl
as the babies arrived
