June 21 Day 10
Today we are checking out of the swan and moving to the Hilton Garden Inn at the Airport.. Now we will have 4 kids , 2 adults , 2 big suitcases, 4 littler suitcases, 6 backpacks and 1 booster seat in one Mid Size car !!??? Yep that is right .. We did really good and only had to put 2 backpacks and 2 smaller suitcases up with us.. as we are leaving we spot a mears van and decided to follow it to the airport - well I am down to between 1/2 and 1/4 of a tank of gas plenty to get to the airport but I said i would fill it before returning .. Oh well I will just bring it back how much can they be charging for a tank.. so then we hit this big downpour and almost lose the van but its found again when the rain subsides a bit.. ok so we pull into the airport and some how miss the car rental return signs and drive completly around again !! HEE HEE par for the course when I am driving I guess.. so we bring it back and then I say How much per gallon thinking I heard the man wrong $$$$$$$$$ 4.89 per gallon ( I was almost fainting ) he only charged me for 6 - yea almost $30 !! lesson here is buy the $1.52 pre paid gas incase you don't hit a gas station before you get back to the airport . We go inside and call the Hilton as they have a free shuttle .. it rings like 100 on 5 different calls !! finally they answer and tell us where to wait and we wait and wait and wait so i call again - she should be there any minute we waited 7 more minutes and then it showed up .. so we get to the hotel and are hungry so we are going to walk to Denny's but the shuttle will take us to Bennigan's if we want so ok - Off we go and get seated and wait and wait and wait .. well a waitress walks by and Keri says "can you find our waitress we haven't even seen her yet for drinks " so this waitress takes our drink orders and finds our real waitress who comes with the drinks and applogized for not waiting on us for so long and offers us free desserts .. Cool .. we are ready to order and that comes fairly quickly then we order the desserts - Ice cream for the kids, Apple brown betty for me , Brownie sundae for Keri , and we wait and wait then it comes - Keri gets about 3/4 of the way done and then is spitting out something - its some type of rubber cover baked into the brownie .. so we get the manager and he give us 30 % off plus the free desserts still so our final bills were $10 each ( and I had a $10 Gift Cert. ) Oh well , We walk back to the hotel and kids swim for a while then we watch Tv , do laundry and Go to bed we are getting up really early for our trip back..

Up at 4:30 we are leaving at 5:35 for our 7:20 am flight to Manchester Nh. The flight is uneventful - Kyle has taken the Bonine again and sleeps for most of the flight - Megan plays game boy and I read .. Keri's husband is waiting for us when we land at 10am we get all the luggage and pile in their van for the 2 hour ride home. we stop at a BK and kids play for a bit we are home around 1
