Good Morning everyone, so nice waking up in our own beds, the kids start school tomorrow after a nice winter break, so it is nice to have a day to just settle in. This trip was so intense for my body, I really feel like I heavy lifted, was in an airport endurance race, the flights to and fro could not have been possible without activating my core and depending on my muscle to get me through, I am really not kidding.
I had to carry my 30 pound baby most of the way, plus we all had a carry on and a personal item, and a bag with all three car seats. I know it is nuts, but our logic was not only to avoid the baggage fee but not to have to deal with going to the baggage claim, just in and out. We did get lucky by finding carts literally anytime we needed them, so many people offered to help and many did, and because the planes were full the bags had to go under the plane, at no free, so we managed, and I really need a massage.
At one point my daughter wanted the bathroom, I have to take my baby with me everywhere, this was when we already arrived in Atlanta, my husband was waiting with my son while I squatted down, picked up my daughter on one side and my baby on the other, that is 30 pounds each, and got up with my core using my leg strength and took them to the bathroom around the corner, who needs a gym! Lucky for me, right there waiting for me to see it was a bag cart that we were allowed to take out of the airport on to the train into the car rental area. I was feeling so blessed for whoever designed that airport for visitors coming in.
Going out was not as pleasant, apparently strollers get a special family lane, but we decided not to take ours so we did not qualify even with our 4 bags, 3 kids, and car seats, Thanks Atlanta. To top it off there were no carts allowed through security check or to the gate, so we literally had to take breaks because of course it was at the other end of the airport. Luckily my baby walked most of the way then, my oldest was the biggest helper, and my daughter was just a cute little thing following along, she said when she turns four which is in March, she would help. When we left Los Angeles for our trip everyone in United Airlines was amazing, they even got us a cart to take our stuff from security check to the gate.
Overall Totally Satisfied,
Feeling Blessed For My Strength,
Wish I looked as good on the outside as I feel on the inside,
Work in Progress,
Life is a work in progress,
Otherwise we would be bored,
Coach Yulia
