Awake: 5:52am Temp: 40’s sleep 6+14 light rain overnight @ Indiana, PA.
K & I have the light Continental breakfast downstairs & then we walk the Indiana Mall for (3) complete rounds which took (33) min. Next we scrutinize several stores for hrs looking @ potential Christmas gifts for our grandchildren.
About 12:00 noon, we drive ¾ mile to the Valley Dairy for lunch; K & I have separate meals & end up asking for doggy bags. En route to our motel, we make a quick stop @ Wal-Mart for a Christmas item check.
About 3:30 EST, I call Nick on his cell phone; he & family just arrived in Cincinnati, KY. Nick describes his travels so far: “I woke up @ 2:00am PST, Eriko & Jerry woke up @ 3:00am; we took a taxi to Sea-Tac Airport arriving @ 4:00pm, waited (30) min for Northwest Airlines desk to open & then they sent us over to Delta for check in. Our departure was delayed a little. Jerry & Eriko took good naps but I could not sleep.”
From Cincinnati, they are scheduled to fly to Detroit & meet up with Zack & then continue on to Latrobe, PA where Kevin will meet & bring them into Indiana.
Later this afternoon, I call Zack on his cell phone; he had just arrived in Detroit & has been texting Nick so he knows where to meet him.
Meanwhile: Flash News! This just in, announced tonight @ 8:00pm: Melissa is pregnant with # 4. She tells us “I’m feeling good!”
Before leaving the Footes, Nick calls from Detroit; their aircraft leaving for Latrobe has been delayed about (30) min. The next morning we find out….it was a (3) hr delay & a switch of aircraft.
Lights out: 11:42pm
