Today is THE Day!!!

I am sitting at the computer knowing that we have 1 hour before we leave on this journey to our son. All I can say is "YEAH!!!"

Gavin did great this morning and is so excited to stay with my parents. He and Grandpa have a secret shopping trip planned for Friday and that is all her could talk about this morning. All I heard was something about peanuts and ice cream...:)

Several people have asked about our travel schedule and return flight plans, so here it is:
*Leave GR at 3:00, arrive in Washington and sleep overnight
*Leave for ET at 10:30 on Friday morning and arrive on Saturday morning.
*Saturday and Sunday we will be doing excursions around the city.
*Monday we leave to travel north of the city to Blue Nile Bridge and Gorge, as well as the Debre Libranos Monestary. We will stay over night in that area. (If you have time Google this, it is incredible)
* Wednesday is "gotcha day", we will pick-up Grayson
* Thursday is the Embassy appointment
* Friday we will pick-up Grayson's passport/visa and head home at 10:15 pm
* Saturday we will arrive in Washington at 7:55 am
*Saturday afternoon we will fly Northwest 2561 to Detroit and arrive 2:20 pm
* Leave Detroit at 3:28 on Northwest 1010 and arrive in GR at 4:19.

We welcome any friends and family that would like to welcome us home and meet Grayson. Please remember that it will be an emotional time for all of us and I apologize in advance if I don't talk with each person individually. Be sure to ask Gavin about his adventures with Grandpa too!

Thank you for continued prayers for safety.
