Send-off to Seattle

Since our 5 year old twin girls would be staying home with daddy while mommy traveled on a business trip that would span 5 days, I wanted to engage them in the trip in a positive way.  I took a page from a former sales manager teammate's book

I asked the girls to pick a small stuffed animal to make the trip with me. Now they had no idea what to expect and were a bit confused at the request. Kayla summarized it by asking, "it's so you'll remember us while you're gone, right Mommy?"
After explaining I would remember them no matter what, I convinced then to pick an animal.  After several near decisions, they finally agreed on Pink Bunny.  After hugs and kisses, Pink Bunny went into my carry-on bag.

This was the start if Pink Bunny's Seattle adventure.

Pink Bunny made his first appearance at the Wichita airport.  I was early for my flight, and sitting at the gate.  There were only a couple of people there, so I took advantage of the opportunity to bring out Pink Bunny so he could wait for his flight.

The plane was small, and my side of the plane had only 1 seat in it. 

 I'm afraid Pink Bunny's view wasn't so nice, as he stayed in my backpack, which was stowed in an overhead bin for the flight.

It's always interesting when you look down at the clouds.

Maybe next time, Pink Bunny will get to see it!
