Friday Adventure! It has Returned.

We took almost a complete month off from the Friday Adventures.  First I was dissuaded by cold and a  lack of imagination.  This was followed by a string of family illnesses and Jess accidentally taking my keys with him to work.  Finally I determined this was the week to resume our adventuring.

My friend Becca suggested we visit the Udvar Hazy Air and Space Museum because it is near her house.   We have been there many times before but it is always a big hit with JAC and has lots of indoor space to run on a cold day.

We started the quick 30 minute trip to Becca's house early this morning.  We were ready to have an adventure.  Everything came to a quick halt as we waited at the same intersection in traffic for 30 minutes.  Traffic was so stalled that the gentleman in the car in front of me jumped out, ran in Starbucks and returned warm beverage in hand.  We still hadn't moved and inch.  We finally made it onto route 66 and realized there was no accident or construction.  We just live in a big city and sometimes things are slow.  We headed west and arrived only half an hour late.

Today JAC was a miracle child.  He was absolutely perfect at the museum.  He walked for two hours looking at aircraft and contentedly holding both of our hands.  I wish I could accredit it to my expert parenting but the cause was overwhelmingly apparent.  JAC  loves Becca.  He wanted to hold her hand the whole time.  He shouted her name over and over in route to her house.  When we stopped for a hamburger post adventure JAC kept repeating "Becca Too!"  I was thankful when he fell asleep moments before we dropped Becca off at her house because I dreaded the impending hysterics caused by Becca's departure.

The Adventure worked out perfectly.  There wasn't one bad moment.  JAC was even awesome while we were stuck in traffic.  It is great to be an Adventurer again.
