We made it my friends. We made it home! I can't believe our trip is over. It's crazy. It makes me soooo sad.
So after the Sugarland concert, we stayed another night in our hotel at Auburn Hills, then left the next morning to drive 3 1/2 hours to Ohio. We saw the Kirkland Temple, drove around Cleveland, then went to our hotel in one of the suburbs off of Cleveland. We then ate dinner, dad took me out to a special place, because it was our, well, what we thought was, our last night of our trip. We went to the Melting Pot. It was sooooo good! Then we went back to the hotel, hung out for a while and went to bed. The next morning we got up, left Cleveland to drive back to Detroit for our flight home. Now this is a funny story...
So, we get to the airport, we're through security, everything, at our gate, they board the plane, we sit down, it's all normal and stuff. I'm like, practically crying because I hate leaving Detroit. Last time I cried, this time I was close to it, because I hate leaving Detroit. Any other trip I don't cry but Detroit.. with Jen, and Jess, and Jess, and Holly.. oh, it's the hardest take off I've ever been through. So honestly, I am praying to God that somehow our plane will have mechanical problems or something so that we don't have to take off. Seriously, 5 minutes later, we are taken off of the plane due to a leak of some sort of something. I laughed. I laughed soooo hard because I so couldn't believe that had just happened. Thank heaven that God answers prayers my friends :) Ohhh I love it. So then we were stuck at the Detroit airport for 3 hours.. waiting for our bags. Then we called the airline and got us rebooked on a layover flight through Memphis. I've always wanted to go to Memphis. So we then take the shuttle to our hotel for the night, go to bed, then get up at like, 5 the next morning to catch our 7:30 flight at the airport.
Our plane actually takes off this time. It wasn't as hard leaving Detroit when I was going somewhere I actually wanted to go, not just straight home. I was actually kind of excited. We land in Memphis, take the shuttle to the rental car place, rent, yeah, get this, a Chevy Silverado. Yeah baby! It was pretty sweet. So then we went to the Gibson Guitar Factory and watched them make the semi-hollow and hollow body guitars. It was dang cool. Then they let us play them, the ones fresh out of the factory. Ahhh! Heaven!! We were rockin' it. Then we went to Graceland, Sun Studio, ect. All the tourist destinations. Then we caught our 7:00 flight out of Memphis back home to Utah. Now we're home, alive, and well, but it's really weird. It's like, I have nothing to do with my life, ha, ha. I'm not working anymore since I don't have to earn $500, I'm not running around from place to place with my dad like we were on the trip. It's like.. well.. this is fun. Ha, ha, but on the upside I have started making Little Miss Project Live: Salt Lake City posters.. so if any of you are coming... you know who to find. It's going to be so amazing, I'm so excited to be a part of it.
Can't wait to hopefully see some of you there! Xox!
