Thanksgiving Journey Day 5

Wednesday afternoon, Michael, Ryan, and I headed to the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport to pick up Brock at 5:00pm.  It was about a two hour drive.  Then we went to check in to the Residence Inn and went out to eat at a place called The Marketplace:

When the bill came and the waiter asked how we wanted it split, I jumped in and said, "You can put it all on one, and he's paying" and I pointed to Michael.  It is amazing how often this works!  I encourage you all to try it next time you're out to eat with someone =)

Throughout the day we kept getting updates about my mom and her flight status'.  She had hoped to fly out standby all day, but with no seats available she wasn't able to get on an earlier flight.  Her expected flight was on an hour delay out of South Bend.  When she finally boarded the plane, they sat on the runway for an hour and a half.  Needless to say, Carol missed her connection at O'Hare, and since it was the last flight out for the night, had to get a hotel room and didn't come in to Arkansas until Thanksgiving morning. 

Ryan and I went to bed for the night, while Michael and Brock went back to airport to pick up Kelly at 9:00pm.
