Mommy Overseas

Carrie and Grandma are in Ireland!

They're on a business reconnaissance trip. Or so they say....I think they're going to enjoy their time on the Emerald Isles immensely.

And thanks to the internet it's easy to keep in touch.

Carrie wants me to learn how to speak like the Irish.

"If you had that accent I'd swoon. Full on bona fide swoon.

Forget learning another language, just learn how to speak like this"

It wasn't as easy as a cute picture to get over there, though. The ladies were supposed to leave Wednesday, but their plane never left the airport. They sat on the tarmac for a couple of hours before the flight was called off. Carrie was stressed and called me as Shane's TKD class was ending. She asked Shane and I if we'd be willing to visit her at Grandma and Grandpa's.

We hopped in the car and drove over to spend the night. It was a good deal for Shane.

He got to go fishing.

He got to play with Grandma's iPad.

The shower cap was bonus.

Grandpa took him up to the train room, but I was lazy and stayed downstairs for that.

Most importantly, he got a second chance to say "Good-bye" to Mommy before she left on her trip.

This was his face when he noticed I had the camera out.

Grandma and Carrie's second attempt to fly out was through Dulles instead of Richmond this time. It went off without a hitch. They're overseas and I hope they'll have some pretty pictures for me to post later. I showed Shane the street view of where they're sleeping their first night on Google Maps.
