First Day in Columbia

We arrived in Columbia around 10:15am. We had a 2 hour layover in Atlanta and planned to have a quick breakfast and I wanted a coffee but 2 hours was barely enough time to get to the gate for our next flight! We had to clear customs in Atlanta and figure we had 500+ people in front of us. It went quite quickly but after customs had to go through security again even though we had never left the secure part of the airport other than being on the actuel plane. I don’t quite understand it. Then took the airport train to get 3 terminals over and to our gate. We did have time for a quick bathroom break but that was it!

Taryn and Eloise and Isaac met us at the airport. We were starving so they ordered delicious bagel sandwiches from Bruegger’s Bagels and Taryn made coffee and we were full and happy. We spent the afternoon relaxing, kids playing, caught minnows behind their house in 35C weather, and watched USA gymnastics Olympic Trials, etc.

Then we just ran out to Target and the grocery store. I was very disappointed in Target. I used to love that store but found it expensive. The girls enjoyed looking at different cereal flavors. Then at the grocery store the variety of Buble and pop flavors was the excitement. $10.99 for 12 mango blue moon was the highlight for me.

We are back home and having chicken enchiladas for dinner. We are planning to have an early bedtime since we figure that none of us got more than 2 hours sleep total while flying last night. Then tomorrow we are off to the beach!!Read more
