Alex and Biz: both Grandpa and I had fun with you two
and are sure glad you brought us to the airport! It was fun to have you
two there.
Grandpa and I had lunch in a nice deli-style restaurant in the airport
and had a nice talk. Since our flight to Germany was originally scheduled
to leave at 2:40 but was now going 15 minutes later, we figured we had plenty
of time.
We showed up at the gate (just a few steps from the restaurant) and
everyone had already boarded the plane! Oops! But we got on just fine.
The plane is very cool and new. It is a Boeing 777 and do you know what
the coolest part is you guys? There are little TV's in the back of every
single seat. People around me are watching TV and soon I'll turn mine
on too. There is music of every type available by switching to the
music channels.
Biz---you would love this stuff and Alex---there are even
cartoons on the TV too!
Grandpa and I are just going to eat dinner. Here is a photo of Grandpa
and I about two hours outside Chicago on the plane and just before dinner:

Here is Dad (so happy that he jogged this morning)
Look for more tomorrow (August 18th).....
