It was Katy's Bat Mitzvah weekend, so we all piled into the car and
drove to this area
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0001
of the garage at Philadelphia airport where the family assembled
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0002
to rescue things from the back
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0003
of our car
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0004
so that we could board the elevator (seemed to become a theme)
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0005
and carry our baggage
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0006
to the gate
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0007
where we were too early for the flight.
So we marched over
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0008
to the food court
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0009
where Jane talked to Lucy
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0010
until her shared sandwich
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0011
and cheese fries
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0012
arrived. I had a cheese hoagie
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0013
and diet snapple
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0014
which were sub-par. Benjamin got ready
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0015
and took a big bite
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0016
as Jane did before
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0017
during
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0018
and after
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0019
eating pictures. After a last bite
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0020
and a last sip
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0021
we surveyed the rest of the food court
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0022
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0023
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0024
recorded the bill
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0025
and headed back to the gate area where Suzanne and Sarah
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0026
were finishing their gourmet meal. Once on the plane, we were
divided by an aisle
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0027
so Jane read her book
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0028
and I read mine
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0029
until we landed in Pittsburgh. This gentleman
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0030
got in the way but we still ran into Stan
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0031
and Ann
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0032
making our way to baggage past the Heinz sign
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0033
which is as Pittsburgh as it gets.
Eventually the others
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0034
made their way down so that we could have this man
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0035
rent this car
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0036
to us and begin the journey to Oakland where we had these views
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0037
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0038
of the car ahead of us and this view
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0039
into the hotel as we stared at the dash
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0040
and waited for the basketball team to check in and the jeep
to stop blocking traffic. After leaving the car
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0041
in the garage
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0042
for the night, we headed to the room where Norma had left this present
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0043
for the adults, this shirt for Sarah,
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0044
these books for Ben
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0045
and this shirt for Jane.
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0046
The opened package revealed these books
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0047
for the adults which caused everyone to have a rest
../../../Sabbat/11.15-17.02KatiesBatMitzvah//IMG_0048
before turning in for the night.
