Amy & James to Philadelphia airport and pick up Catherine

May 28, 2002 - Amy & James to Philadelphia airport and pick up Catherine

Today started out to be a nightmare because Enterprise Car Rental who was supposed to pick us up at 8:00 am at the Inner Harbor Marina in Baltimore went to the Inner Harbor East Marina, even though I had given them the exact address. Then they didn't follow through and send us another car, so we were delayed in leaving for the airport. How frustrating. I was rather perturbed to say the least. Bill finally took a taxi to their office and got a car, and we hurried to get everything packed in it and left for the airport. We had a bite of lunch with Amy and James and said the very sad goodbyes, as they boarded their plane to Denver. We feel a certain emptiness and can't wait to see them in September. But that is 3 months, which is too long for my liking. Then Bill and I drove around Philly and saw the Liberty Bell and watched a movie about the history of our amazing country. Next we did some grocery shopping and went back to the airport to wait for Catherine to arrive. Her flight was delayed a bit and we didn't get back to Baltimore until 10:00 or so and hadn't had dinner yet. So we tried to find a parking spot with not much success, but finally ended up having dinner at the Cheesecake Factory at 11:00pm. Really tired, so we all hit the hay as soon as we got back to the boat.

It was real good to see Catherine and she looks real cute with a little "tummy"
