A few more photos

hotel and airport

More pictures of Lex's hotel. Here is the airport behind the hotel. One of those planes is the one that flew me to Vegas. The others crash often, but the Vegas plane never does. Whewh!

the hotel

Here is the final hotel. The parking garage below, with cars, has an (imaginary) escalator up into the hotel. Lex is very proud of his work. :)

pesto

Eve and I made pesto today. It was a multi-week project. Think about it for a few weeks. Find a recipe. Pick basil over a few days. Debate (for years) about buying a food processor. Finally get it all together and make the pesto! Do we like pesto? Me, so-so. Eve and Alan, yep! Lex... well, we will never know because of course he won't taste it.

A day at the airport

The kids ask me, daily, when we can go back to the airport. They want to go back to Logan but I’m not real interested in a 2+hr drive just to watch the airplanes. This morning we went to our local (tiny!) airport to watch some planes. The arrival/departure times listed on the website were wrong, so we ended up hanging out at the airport, having a snack on the runway picnic table, and making friends with passengers. Overall a good morning, I suppose. The kids had fun but still want to go to Logan. Maybe we’ll try Manchester some day. Or try to save some pennies and actually buy a ticket to fly somewhere! I think all of us except Alan would enjoy that. :)

snack time

Snack time at the airport!

making friends

We made friends with a little girl (2.5yrs old!). Her daddy was flying away.

holding hands

My kids decided to go back outside and Lex promptly took her hand and away they went.

the airport

Finally a plane came in!

watching the plane

We went inside to watch the plane boarding. Small plane and small airport, but you can't get this close to the action at Logan!
