We returned our car and went through security in record time and then our wait began for our plane.
It arrived a few minutes late but we all boarded without issue and just as we pulled onto the tarmac the pilot came on and announced we would have to wait for 50 minutes.
We could either go back to the terminal or just wait on the plane. We all voted to wait on the plane. I read my book so the time passed quickly. Danny busied himself in his tablet relishing in the opportunity to play MineCraft.
We finally took off and headed for Denver. It turns out the reason for our delay was twofold.
The first was that the fires in Oregon and CA had caused smoke visibility issues AND there were some terrible weather storms that had caused delays leading to a backlog of flights at Denver.
We landed and discovered our flight home was also delayed by two hours.
Denver Airport is like a small city it is so huge. We finally found our gate and a nearby restaurant to have dinner.
We boarded and flew home.
We were supposed to land at 5:30 pm
We landed at 8:30 pm.
I am very grateful to be home. I really missed our girls who were also happy to have us back.
