This is Ms. Megan. She took care of us while we were at the cabin in Asheville. I especially like her because she gave The Lady and Mr. Guy laundry soap to wash my shirts (and some of theirs too) so that I would be a clean monster as we travelled home. I really liked staying at the cabins; there were all kinds of things for little blue and orange furry monsters to do. Mr. Guy and The Lady seemed very happy there too.
Getting home to Dallas was another story...
We had to check out of our cabin at noon and our airplane did not leave until evening. We decided to play a few games before we left.
The Lady has always liked to play skee ball. She thought that I might like it too so she showed me how to play. I liked the orange balls and the game was fun too. After I practiced a few times, I asked Mr. Guy to play a game with me.
He did pretty well. Then it was my turn.
I learned about being a good sport. Even though my number was higher than Mr. Guy's, he still played well and we both had fun. And fun is what it is all about! Next time, Mr. Guy's number might be bigger than mine. And that will be OK. It is just a game.
We both played hard so we needed a little rest before our big travel day.
I sure like cuddling with Mr. Guy. I'm glad that he did not get mad because my skee ball numbers were bigger than his. Winning a game is not nearly as important as having someone to nap with in a hammock!
After our rest, The Lady took one more picture of us before we left the cabins for good.
I hope we get to come back here again!
All of the game playing and picture taking made me hungry. The Lady said that there was a place in North Carolina that she liked to go when she was in school here. She told Mr. Guy that it was not the healthiest food, but it would bring back some silly memories for her so he said, "Let's go." So, we went to Hardees for lunch. The Lady said that she really liked their sausage biscuits, but it was lunchtime when we went so she could not get one. she said that they also had pretty good hamburgers.
When we walked in the door, I saw this sign.
This was puzzling to a furry monster. North Carolina is not the southwest. Texas is the southwest. I like tacos, but I wasn't so sure about these tacos. Mr. Guy said you have to be careful about Mexican food when you are not really in the southwest. We ordered hamburgers. I decided that I could wait until I get back to Texas to eat tacos.
Even though it was early, after lunch we decided to head to the airport. That was OK. I like to sit in airports and watch the people, especially when they stop and talk to me. We got to the airport and then the real adventure began...
Our first flight from Asheville to Charlotte was delayed by three hours. That meant we would miss our next flight from Charlotte to Dallas. Uh oh! After a lot of pushing buttons on the computer, the airlines lady said that they would just call a driver to take us by van to Charlotte so that we would be there in time to leave for Dallas. We sat and waited to see if anyone else needed to ride in the van with us.
Then the airplane lady said that they were wrong. The plane to Charlotte was leaving only one hour late so now we could fly on it rather than ride in the van so she gave us a new ticket. I felt bad for the van man who came and was waiting there to help people and then we didn't need him. Mr. Guy and I told him thank you for his willingness to help us.
After we got our new tickets, we went through the weird place where they make Mr. Guy put me in a bucket and go through the scary tunnel all by myself. I don't like that! They take pictures of me, but they are not like the one's that The Lady takes. These pictures make me look black and white instead of blue and orange. The Lady said that they are looking at my insides. I don't know why they are doing that! I am always so happy when Mr. Guy picks me up at the other end of the tunnel! Ms. Linda told me that there is light at the end of the tunnel. So far, she is right! But the airplane lady was wrong...now our plane was leaving another hour late! I don't know how to tell time, but that is not my job. I think people who make airplane schedules should know how clocks and hours and schedules work!
They told us that we would still get to Charlotte in time to get to the plane home to Dallas. Our plane left even later because it ran into some birds and they got tangled in the engines. I did not want to hear anymore about that. It sounded very yucky to me! We finally got to Charlotte. All of the people on the plane with us had to hurry to get to other planes. We got to ride on one of the funny airport cars. I didn't know that they would take us for a ride. Usually they just honk and nearly run us over! Even with riding through the airport, we didn't make it in time to catch our plane.
Now we had to spend a night in a hotel. I thought that would be fun, but The Lady said that it would not be because we did not have any PJ's or clean clothes for the next day. Uh oh! Fortunately I had been a neat monster and hadn't spilled anything on my shirt.
We finally got to a hotel and went to sleep. It was very late and I was very tired!
Ms. Linda read on Facebook that we were going to be in Charlotte all day so she came and got us and we all went to lunch together. That was fun and I was a happy monster that I got to see her again! After lunch, she took us back to the airport. We had a lot of time to sit and watch the people.
Mr. Guy helped me play games on his phone.
We played together so that we didn't have to worry about each other's numbers.
Then we watched more people.
And finally it was time to get on the plane and fly home. I slept in Mr. Guy's lap the whole way home.
I liked Asheville a lot, but I am a little tired of airports. I have had a great adventure and met lots of really nice people on this trip! But, I have to say, it is nice to be home in my very own monster bed!
