Hiii from Wisconsin

[glacier_kitty]

We made it to Wisconsin! The first flight to Anchorage left at 9 something. It seemed pretty dark, but you could see the sunset once you got above the clouds. They both looked really cool! McKinley and Foraker were the only mountains tall enough to peek over the clouds..they also looked really cool! It was funny..the pilot said we had reached our cruising altitude and then was like "in 10 minutes we'll start the descent to Anchorage." Haha!! We spend most of that flight ascending and descending. :P Mom said she sat next to a pilot she briefed when she worked for the FAA! Haha awesome. We didn't have a lot of time in Anchorage..I really wanted Chili's since it's not in Fairbanks anymore but we only had time to get fries from McDonald's. Mom was actually flying standby (I had a paid ticket but if mom couldn't go I wouldn't either). Mom wasn't sure if she'd get a seat since the flight was full, but I think she got the last one! Nicee. We tried sleeping, but it's just impossible to get comfortable. Eventually I gave up and did a crossword haha. It took 5 hours to get from Anchorage to Seattle. After we got our bags we picked up our rental car and drove the hour and a half to Ron and Teresa's house in Wisconsin. Grandpa drove up from Florida..he was the only one at the house when we arrived. Ron got off work early and arrived soon after. Right now Teresa's at work and Stephanie's at school. We're just hanging out now and looking at pics and stuff haha. Yayy. So tiredd :P

Love that you and I traveled so closely to each other hehe. I know, it really is so difficult to try to fall asleep on planes! On our redeye from San Francisco to Newark, we actually had an empty seat next to us so we could stretch out and lie down, but we couldn't sleep for more than 10 minutes at a time. Eesh.

I'm happy that you made it to Wisconsin safely and that you and your mom were able to get on the same flight! How fantastic :)

PS - I am enjoying a thunder/lightning storm for the first time in many moons hehe. Have so much fun in Wisconsin!!

Hi to Wisconsin :D
That part about seeing the sunset once you got above the clouds sounded so peaceful and comforting to me for some reason - it made me feel like I could take a flight without freaking out from fear if I got to see that. I am weird lol.

That's the worst when you can't fall asleep on a trip though you are really tired. I hope you got to catch up by now.
