NW Trip Report TPA-MEM-DTW-CLE-MSP-BOI 59 Pictures!
Hello, as some of you know, this is my now third trip report on JetPhotos! The report here includes my two flights back home to Tampa from Cleveland. This is the first time in 2.5 months I returned home not only to leave again the following Saturday for Washington, DC which you will see in my report after this one.
I was in Cleveland for about 4 days total. On August 8th we drove to Cedar Point, Ohio to go to the biggest amusement park in the world! If some of you are familiar with it I will tell you now, yes, I did go on Top Thrill Dragster. Four times! Someone always asks me that. On August 9th my uncle invited my cousin and I to his house until August 11th. So, we did. We left Cedar Point on the 9th and drove for two hours to Detroit (Novi to be exact). On the 11th my grandparents came to Detroit to pick us up and take us back to Cleveland since our bags were still there. So, on Wednesday, my stand-by treck back home starts.

Cleveland, Ohio
4:00AM EST
After waking up I preceded to the shower. You know, the normal getting ready for the day procedures. I finished all my packing and texted my dad for my confirmation number. After that, I got in the car with my grandparents and cousin and drove to Hopkins airport. Once we arrived my grandparents drove off and my cousin and I preceded to the Delta check-in counter. We got ourselves checked in and went through security. I encountered something new I haven't before in security. I was pulled aside and told to step into this tall circular tube and stand on the foot prints. I then had to hold my hands up and have my fingertips touching. Two bars started going around on the sides of the tube. The only similar thing I can think of is at the dentist. Anyways, I was sitting at gate A3 while my cousins flight departed. He was going back to Boise via ATL and SLC. So, my grandparents didn't want to make two trips to the airport they dropped me off at 5:00AM for my 10:15AM flight basically. So, I roamed around the airport and took some pictures. I got on the flight to Detroit with problems. The flight was weight restricted so I got put on at the very last second. First some pictures from Cleveland and Detroit.
An Alpaca farm we visited! Haha
My uncle, his friend and my mom were going to a Moody Blues concert in Detroit. They rented a Hummer H2 limo for transportation. They were running late so my cousin and I thought we'd take a look!

Once I landed in Detroit I got off the plane and headed to gate A76 for my flight to Tampa. I took a few pictures and boarded. I was really excited for this flight since the flight was being operated by a DC-9-40, one of only seven in operation I think?! Nothing special happened in the airport though.
