We were at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. If you have not been there, it is the smaller airport. In terminal A there are only 9 gates. We were sitting there waiting for our Southwest flight back to Tampa. There were also 2 fights going to Texas. The PA system was not working, so the gate attendants were yelling out announcements. Suddenly the people next to us started to get excited and pulling out the camera phones. It was Senator Ted Cruse of Texas and Senator John Neely Kennedy of Louisiana. I took a photo from my seat. Of course, Carrie, being the photographer in our family, jumped up and took a good photo. The open seating for the plane started and John Kennedy walked to the front of the line and Ted was 24. This plane finished loading and I noticed a 3rd Senator waiting for the other plane. It was Senator John Cornyn of Texas with his wife. His plane started to load and John walked to the front of the line. His wife was in line way back. The plane stared to load and John walked on leaving his wife in the back. Humm… If Carrie did that to me, I would have been a very unhappy camper. LOL, I posted these photos on Facebook with the caption “Too close for comfort.” There were 100’s of negative comments.
