I recently flew home from a trip to see my brand new granddaughter, it was awesome to see such a precious baby that looks like my son. Touched my heart.........

Anyway!

I went to the airport early in St. Louis and then had a layover in Charlotte... before catching my flight home to Tampa.

I love people watching at the airport.... there is nothing more entertaining and blog worthy than the people around me.

My Dad was active duty military so we were all over the country and the world!

I have good memories of the family...
