KC, 11 Hrs in NE, & Speedo Man

Last week I flew up to Kansas City to spend a few days with my family.  This is my four-day-trip in times.

Tuesday, August 14th. 

1:20 pm.
Betsy dropped me off at the Nashville airport for my 2:40 flight to KC.

2:30 pm.
attendant makes announcement that the flight is overbooked, and asks if anyone would volunteer to give up their seat, in exchange for a free flight, and $300 flight voucher w/ Southwest. (I TOTALLY VOLUNTEEREDDD, & I DID DISSSSS, six hours in the airport is soooo worth a free flight to California next summer for Vidcon.)

I got absolutely nothing accomplished during these 6 hours...

I was supposed to get into KC around 4:15 and have supper with my family, but instead, I waited six extra hours in the freaking airport for the next flight to KC at 8:30 pm.

11:00 pm.
finally landed at MCI airport and got into Kansas City

Wednesday, August 15th.

10:00 am.
took my dad's car and drove up to Nebraska to see some friends.

1:00 pm.
got into Lincoln, NE and had lunch with my good friends, Lyndsee and Whitney

3:00 pm.
drove to my hometown of Aurora, NE, with Lyndsee, to see a few more friends.

[insert craziness of lyndsee and I running around all throughout Aurora reminiscing memories of growing up and trying to see as many people in a day, as possible.]

7:00 pm.
met with a few friends at the park

10:30 pm. 
drove back to Lincoln, (one hour), to take Lyndsee back to UNL

11:30 pm.
said goodbye to lyndsee, and made the extra three hour drive back to KC

3:00 am.
finally got back to my parents house.

Thursday, August 16.

12:00 pm.
went to Air Zone in KC with my nephews, mom, and my sister.  that was pretty neat.

7:00 pm
my other sister, Hope, and her husband, Derek, came over and we had supper together.

[insert family time, family pictures, and a whollllleeeee lotta apple crisp - made with freshly picked apple from my parents' apple tree. YUMM]

Friday, August 17.

11:00 am.
walmart with my parents so they could buy me da necessities (that I could fit into my suitcase...)  shampoo, toothpaste, body wash, face wash.. exciting stuff, huh?

1:00 pm.
we picked up Subway and had a picnic at the lake.  then we hung out on the "beach" and saw an old guy in a speedo.  -_-

5:30 pm.
said goodbye to my family, and they took me to the airport for my 7:00 flight back to Nashville (layover in Chicago)
Southwest ran out of overhead bin storage for luggage, so I had to check my guitar.  I was NOT happy about that.
Also, my flight in Chicago got delayed, like, whaaaaaa daaaaa heckkk? but it was only a half hour, and I met this girl named, Ryan, from Madison, Wisconsin.  She was pretty cool.

11:00 pm.
finally landed in Nashville, and my friend, Maggie, who had just gotten back into town, picked me up! I hadn't seen her since May!
also, my guitar made it back safely.  that was good.


-------------------------------

overall, I had a great time.  it was a fun and busy 11 hours in nebraska, and it was really good to be able to hang out with my family in missouri.
