A flat tire, a misplaced birth certificate, and lots of family rounded out our Memorial Day weekend. As it were, no one is actually concerned with whether the child you are traveling with is indeed your child - instead it is really just a matter of whether that child is under 2 years old and is thus not required to purchase a ticket. Unfortunately, with the flat tire/roadside assistance battle and the whirlwind in/out of Phoenix Sky Harbor in one day with a quick pit stop to deal with Carl Rove, I managed to forget Little Miss J's birth certificate and was forced to purchase a ticket for the tot. Luckily, we were told that it was Southwest's policy to refund the price of the ticket upon proof of birth date. To be honest, having the extra space was pretty much a god send and should we actually get this refund with only a moderate amount of effort on our part, this may be one of the best kept airport secrets EVER. Stay tuned ...
Gus's parents were thrilled to see Little Miss J and spent all weekend playing with her. His mom had so much fun, she actually sent Little Miss J a text message today. On Sunday it was hotter in Chicago than it was in Phoenix, but we managed to get outside and visit the Morton Arboretum, where there was a great children's garden with lots of fun things for Little Miss J to explore. The super cute hat is compliments of her parents inability to remember sunscreen that morning.

A grad party, some shopping, two Italian beefs, and some Korean food later, we were back at Midway getting ready to head home. While we definitely had a fun weekend and I'm glad the grandparents got to visit with Little Miss J, it was an exhausting whirlwind few days and I think we were all happy to be sleeping in our own bed last night!
