The Last Night and the Twentieth Flight

The Cleveland Park area is not far form the zoo.  We stopped in for a short time.
 He fell asleep as soon as we left...
 We headed over to Finn's old stomping grounds as he likes to call it "taxi park." 



 He was shirtless because it has a splash pad.   We got to see his buddy Marek and family. 

 We went with them to grab a quick bite.
 Then we got Finn a "steamer" on the way to the metro. This is the North Side Social Coffee house....
 and the old diner we used to frequent.   
Had to get on the metro and get home so we could catch as much sleep as possible before our early morning flight. 

We got up at 4:30 Amarillo time.
 Finn was great but had a little meltdown outside of the security check point. He has a shopping  addiction that we are trying to break.  He wanted stuff, we said no, meltdown ensued.  Turned out that probably made the difference in us making our flight.  We were in a long line and once he wouldn't stop screaming they moved us up to the front. Once we made it past security he was fine again. I think people were kind of like "hey why did they get to go/oh my gosh I am so glad I don't have to listen to that for the next 30 minutes." 

This was Finn before boarding his 20th airplane!
 We started flying with him 13 months ago and since then he has gotten on 20 times.  Twenty successful flights with him makes me so happy.  

Nana and Grandad picked us up and he couldn't wait to show him his book he got on the plane.   It was his surprise for the flight. I gave it to him since he had done good.
Airport days make me appreciate Finn even more.  He is high energy and 3.5 and that can be very hard.  Fits occur.   Meltdowns occur.   He does so good on the airplane though and he always get compliments. It really makes us happy to hear.
