Homeward Bound

I promise, this is the last piece about our trip. Bubby really wanted to connect with Rick, the son of her good friend and former employer, Dr. Snow. Rick is in an MBA program at William and Mary University in Williamsburg. Bubby faithfully obtained contact information before we left, but forgot to bring it along. We tried some email to Dr. Snow, but somehow we couldn't get through. Finally, with time running out, Bubby called The Mrs. Snow, and got a cell number. She was told that Rick was actually in D.C. for the weekend, but was expected to return home sometime later that evening.

Mrs. Snow contacted Rick, who called us, and we were able to hook up with them. They were entertaining friends over the weekend, but an outing to a local ice cream parlor was planned and we joined them.

The photo below is Rick and Erica and their cute children. Bubby was really excited to visit with them, at least for a minute, and get caught up a bit. Rick is doing both an MBA and a MAcc (Masters of Accountancy) program. He already has a degree in economics and finance, but didn't like the job that brought him out east when he graduated from BYU.



The photo below is Rick and his little girl, who's name escapes me. She was super cute and was clearly giving her parents a run for their money. It seems precocious kids are the norm these days. Maybe our mistake was insisting on certain behaviors?



We drove back to Baltimore on Sunday morning, checked in for our flight, and discovered that it had been delayed one hour, which caused us to miss our connection at JFK. The agent got us on an alternate flight to Atlanta, and then on to Las Vegas. We had a few anxious moments when our flight to Atlanta was also late and we feared we would miss our connection to Las Vegas. But after some exercise in various wings of the Atlanta airport, we just made our flight as they were closing the doors, and we got back to Las Vegas about 7:30 PM, half an hour before we were originally scheduled to arrive(??).

We stopped in Mesquite and slept, but we were both at our jobs first thing Monday morning. We had a wonderful time, even if we didn't accomplish everything according to plan. It was surely nice to get away.
