Caleb Goes Home ;-(

The day had to come. Caleb has to go home. Even though the weather was not very cooperative, we had a good time and we will miss him. We hope he will remember his New York adventure!

Absolutely had to get a big bear hug from Grandpop. Only Caleb and I made the flight to Atlanta today.


We went to the airport in a hired car. Caleb is showing us his package of chewing gum we got for the flight. Chewing gum during ascent and decent helps keep the ears from "popping". When we took the elevator in the Empire State building from floor 1 to floor 80 our ears popped.


We all had secret thoughts of Caleb potentially being concerned about flying. We did indeed run into some bumpy air. The pilot announced we were going through some bad weather. It was heavy enough that snack and beverage service did not happen at all. So what did the novice passenger do? He did ask about the bumps and I explained that there can be bumpy air just like the bumps we felt when we rode in the M15 down second avenue. And then . . . . He promptly went to sleep.


Another snapshot of our veteran traveller. He only woke up once our wheels touched down in Atlanta.


Here is a photo of Caleb's welcoming committee. They seemed pretty happy to see him. Of course about two seconds later Tanner wanted to know where was her present!


Everybody was happy to see everybody else. Can't you tell?
