Chapter 2
Early in the morning Stu and Didi anxiously rushed to shove the last of their bags into the trunk of their station wagon, getting ready to head to the airport.
"We need to be at the airport in an hour-could you speed it up?" Didi exclaimed. Stu just muttered under his breath as he dragged an extra- heavy case down the stairs.
"Pop, could you put Tommy and Dil in their car seats?", Didi asked over her shoulder when Lou walked out of the bathroom.
"Sure! I'll put the little sprats in the car! Is there anything else you want to pass off on me?"
"Pop, could you stop complaining?" Stu responded, on his way out the door.
"Sure, sure! I'll be quiet as a mouse!" He went back in the house and out to the living room. "Okay, you two, it's time to get in the car." He picked up Tommy and Dil and carried them outside and put them in the van. He got in the back seat while Stu and Didi came out and started up the van. They pulled out of the driveway and drove down the street. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When they pulled into the airport it was almost three hours later. Tommy was staring out of the car window, looking at the array of cars in the parking lot. Stu was muttering under his breath as he and Didi searched for an available parking space in the bumper-to-bumper traffic of the busy Los Angeles airport. Lou wiped sweat off of his forehead with a towel.
It took about ten minutes for Stu to find a parking space. The day was hot, and a number of cars were honking around them. By the time they managed to park, the five of them had begun to sweat, and Dil was crying. Didi looked at her watch and groaned.
"Stu, we're almost running late. We need to meet up with Drew and Charlotte in fifteen minutes, and I don't know how we're going to get there."
"Relax, there's nothing to worry about. We're making good time," he replied.
"I don't know, Stu. The airport is bound to be busy, you know. And we don't know exactly where our gate is." "We'll be fine." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
They pulled into a spot and got out. Stu unlocked the trunk and pulled out a stroller for Tommy and Dil. They rushed through the parking lot to the entrance. They handed over their suitcases at the baggage check, then headed to the gate.
When they reached their gate, they found that drew, Charlotte, and Angelica were already waiting there.
