leonardo da vinci's horse
my mom, my bro and me really shouldn't have been here for this pic. this was taken on sunday at around 3.30pm... and we should have been in chicago's o'hare airport boarding our flight back home to LA. but our flight from grand rapids airport to chicago was delayed causing us to miss our connecting flight. they could only get two people back to LA that day and so my dad and sister took those. i stayed behind with my mom and brother and after renting a car and finding another hotel, we took advantage of the situation by visiting the frederik meijer gardens & sculpture park. we didn't get to spend a whole lot of time here and didn't see everything as it was closing at 5pm, but i think we saw enough and i really enjoyed it there. a great place to photograph and it was also a pretty nice day out, albeit a little hot. we really could have done more that day but we were all pretty exhausted from the whole weekend and so we called it a day after our visit here and returned to our hotel and just relaxed.
i have no experience with having my flight delayed and i also found out that it wasn't only me who got delayed, jeb, kitting, pia, tommy and ro all didn't get home until monday afternoon or evening... and they all live on the east coast! not really sure what was going on that caused all of us to take more than a day to get back, most likely it was weather related.
after catching a few ZZZs at the hotel, i ended up waking up around 10pm and spent the next four or so hours going through and editing the pics from our weekend in grand rapids... i took quite a lot! i think i had around a 1000 pics... i was hoping to upload them that day but when i finally looked at the time, i realized that we had to start getting ready to make our way back to the airport to catch our flight.
another thing that i remember was that jesse recommended the motel we chose, excel motel which was 3 miles away from the airport. it wasn't much, but it was clean and comfortable from what i could tell and the best thing was free wi-fi. why is this a big deal? about three weeks ago i was in pleasanton staying at a pretty nice hilton hotel and there it was $10 a day for internet access... wtf?!? so i was pretty pleased to see that the residence inn marriott and the excel motel both had free high speed internet.
