Last day was spent packing up and getting ready to go home, rain put a damper on our plans to hit the beach, so we hung out for a bit at my aunts, drove the 1/4 mile to the 100 year old great aunts house and said goodbye and were on our way.
We were flying Providence to Detroit, and Detroit to Salt Lake. I was nervous about the second leg since it was almost a four hour flight, with a four year old and a seven year old. This was the last of five days of them being together 24 hrs/day and they were at each others throats. However it seemed like once we got on the plane all was calm for them. They even slept part of the second flight.
As for me, though, this was a busy leg. As you all know I tend to prefer the blue oval (Ford). Irony on this flight was that there was a Ford Employee sitting next to me. Spent the flight talking about what was, what is, and what will be. Ended up quite informative, and best of all I ended up with a copy of a quiz from it. I will leave you with this quiz, if you wish to e-mail ( the.gearheads@gmail.com ) your answers to me and I"ll let you know which ones you got correct. Good luck
