Sunday we finished up packing and headed to the Central Wisconsin Fair in Marshfield. I enjoyed it very much. I ate fried cheese curds, fried mushrooms, and mouse ears.
I took my 57 year old mother on The Zipper which was cruel and unusual punishment. I was so sentimental about it at first because she was the first one to ride with me when I was around 12 or 13 years old. I think we both vowed to never go on it again.
Dan and I rode a circling umbrella ride which was quite dizzying and then the Farris Wheel. The last ride my mom, dad, Dan and I rode was the Spider. Dan said he'd get sick, but I thought he was just not wanting to go on it. About halfway through the ride, he stopped talking and got really sick. We stopped (after a really long ride) and he was soaked in sweat. I can't believe he didn't puke, but he was pale for quite awhile...until he got ice cream :) Poor Dan.
5am: Off to Minneapolis airport with my mom and dad. We read online that they were going to charge for our checked luggage ($15 for the first piece and $25 for the second). That would be $80 together plus another $50 for our one bag that is over 50lbs. They didn't charge the checked luggage, so we were more than happy to pay the $50 overage.
Philly: What a stupid airport! We had to walk outside to the furthest terminal with all our carry-on luggage (we had a lot because of the 9 month stay).
Atlantic Flight: Dan had a 2 year old ninja (AKA: seat kicker) behind him. He managed to get a bit of sleep after the 8 year old (sitting in the seat a head of him) spilled apple juice and got his feet wet. Poor Dan! (there is a trend here).
London: uneventful. Aimless wandering.
Portugal: good friends, good food, nap!
We're off to Spain tomorrow. We're hoping to not have to pay too much for all our luggage.
