Early on Christmas morning, we went to the airport to begin our journey to Santo Domingo, Domincan Republic to visit Grandma and Grandpa (Scott's parents) who are serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
After a long day--three airplanes--we finally got there. It was so fun and exciting to see Grandma and Grandpa waiting for us at the airport.
