The airport did begin to feel like a home to us. While everyone was rushing we were taking our time just hanging out. Plug-ins for laptops were very scarce. But we knew where the best ones were, and if someone was using them, we knew we could out-wait anyone. One of our plug-ins was close to a Chili's, right beside a pillar. The pillar offered some privacy, but there were no chairs at this outlet. We did use this spot for a large portion of the time, because it was available. But as we toured our home more, we discovered the ideal spot. Chairs in the corner, with a whole wall of stations set up for laptops. Close to the drinking fountain, the bathrooms, and for Mel, a Starbucks, of course. I think Mel knew where all the Starbucks were in concourse B and C. Eric was able to stretch out on the floor at our new spot and take a nap without disturbing anyone. Although, I guess he wasn't intimidated to sleep wherever we were sitting.
Eric found an abandoned luggage cart, so now it was much easier moving from gate to gate. We thought if we had to be in the airport another day, maybe we would visit the children's museum.
I started picking up garbage that the people boarding the plane had left behind. Why did they leave that in our home?
Besides wandering around the airport, we spent our time talking, reading, playing Diner Dash, and using the internet.
It was relaxing.
I have to agree that is was probably the most relaxing vacation that I have ever had.
