Big travel day!
Wow, what a travel day. Brother Josh is awesome(!!) and drove us all to the airport with what felt like 500 items. Check-in and security through MSP Terminal 2 was unbelievably fast and easy. I'd say we were through in about 15 mins total? It was amazing. The main downside of Terminal 2 is that there are VERY few dining options. There were 2 sit-down restaurants and Caribou open; that was it. We decided on a sports bar and had a burger and quesadilla; they were okay, just expensive. After we ate, we had them play in the kids' area to burn some energy and got their pj's on. The flights were... interesting. We left at 7:30pm, which is the kids' bedtime. We thought this would be awesome. We were wrong. Icelandair kept the lights on for about the first 2 hours and did "in-flight service" for first class. We have no clue how it took so long, as they don't give out food or any drinks for free other than water and coffee, but somehow it did. Griffin and Everest ...
