Our Exciting Celeb Sighting

For those of you who know that our flights to Utah were much more eventful than we had hoped for, I'm happy to report that the only eventful part of our trip back was our sighting of Carlos Boozer of the Utah Jazz while we were in the Salt Lake airport!! (And P.S., that's one exclamation point for spotting Boozer and another for having no travel troubles.)

Our first sighting occurred when we were going through the painfully long process of going through security, which entails taking all of our shoes off (yes, Eliot's too) and putting them in bins along with our jackets/coats, carry-on items; breaking down Eliot's stroller and sending it through scanner, taking Grant's laptop out of its bag and putting it in its very own bin; taking out all of the liquids/creams from Eliot's diaper bag -- Desitin, sippy cup, infant Tylenol, etc. -- and putting them in a quart-sized ziplock (don't push them on this issue, we've learned), etc., etc., etc. So like 10 bins later, Grant takes Eliot through the metal detector and I stay back to push our bins through. I look up and Grant's waving and pointing and mouthing something, and I look to where he's pointing and quickly spot Carlos and his adorable family. Turned out that his flight was in our same terminal, so we kept running into him again and again.

Unlike our other cohorts in the airport who called out silly/embarassing things to Carlos, we decided not to bug him, especially since he was with his family, but I admit that a pretty big part of me wishes I'd had my cell phone with the camera charged so I could have sneaked one harmless picture, and it would have been cool to have an autograph (what I would've had him sign, I'm not sure -- my boarding pass?!). If Eliot had been a little older, I think I would have used him as my excuse.
