This is the third day of my Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge. You can find the challenge rules from my first dayโs post Here.
I would like to invite Sarah Ferguson at Travels with Choppy to join the Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge. Choppy is a cute dog, and he has more nice outfits than I do. ๐ I enjoy seeing how Sarah dresses Choppy up and tells a little story with each outfit. If you havenโt visited Sarahโs blog, you may want to take a look!
Airport
When my daughter was 6 or 7, we flew to D.C. to visit my parents. Since it was her first fly, I tried my best to prepare her for the trip. I told her we had to stop at Chicago to change planes and then flew directly to D.C.
When our pilot announced that we were descending to Chicago airport, my daughter got very excited.
โCHICAGO,โ she said loudly, clapping her hands.
She quickly turned to look out of the window, and didnโt say a word for the next two or three minutes. When she finally turned her head back, she looked dejected.
โWhat did you see?โ I asked.
โMom, Chicago looks just like our airport,โ she said.
She is right….airports are airports are airports. She must have been a doll as a child. ๐

I agree. But I think she didn’t realize what she saw was Chicago airport. She thought it was Chicago city. ๐
