Airline Travel

On the Fourth of July we drove to Atlanta. Megan and John Robert were to fly from ATL early the next day, so we planned to stay the night with Ed and Kathleen. It turned out to be a nice evening, and we went to the park with some of their friends to have a picnic dinner and see the fireworks. JR was good the whole time, and slept straight through the bombs bursting in air. What woke him up was the applause from the crowd when the show was over. Go figure.

The next day was tough, having to say goodbye to my wife and baby boy. Kathleen agreed to come with us to the airport in the morning, which was incredibly helpful as I'm sure we would have gotten ourselves lost on the way in the dark before sunrise.
When we got there, Megan and I took John Robert and the luggage in, leaving Kathleen to sleep in the car while she waited. It took a while to get checked in, but once that was done it was only a short walk to the security gates where we had to say goodbye. I wasn't prepared. The moment came so abruptly.
"This is it?" I said in near disbelief, looking over the lines leading into the metal detectors. I could feel tears starting unbidden to well up in my eyes.
After giving Megan a hug and kiss, and kissing JR on the forehead, I sent them off. I watched them as long as I could, but soon they were though security and out of sight. I tried to keep it together as I turned around and headed back out the way we came.
Before long, Kathleen had us back at her house, and I headed out right away toward Charleston and my month of bachelorhood.
