Ready to Go
Well we’ve packed everything, checked it twice and are now ready to walk out the door. Mom, Papa and Karl were the departure crew and our flight to St. Paul Minneapolis was uneventful. It was a nice airport to spend a couple hours and as we flew in and out again I wondered if we were near Chanhassen, so we could wave to friends.
