17 March 2026 Sanford: Ryan, Stephanie and Crew plus TSA Precheck Appointment

 


The crew is back from hiking and we returned Titan to his home with Ryan, Stephanie and the kids.  Then we took Hayden out to lunch to Two Chicks.  Two chicks specializes in chicken salads done up in various ways.  Our lunch was tasty and we then headed over to Staples for our TSA appointment.  The TSA funding impasse has created chaos at airports all over the US and we want to get every advantage possible on our up coming domestic flights.  We forgot to wear green on this St. Patty's day, oops, sorry Ireland.



Titan is a very large dog anf he is always pulling on the leash


Back from the hike


Still very chaotic 


Lots of gear to sort




Wet clothes and items to get clean and dry


Gavin joins us


Chicks do it right


The story is a sweet one.  they started out selling chicken salad out of their kitchen and had to upgrade to a commercial kitchen so they decided to really upgrade


We enjoyed our lunch and talked about our upcoming DC trip


Lots of red bugs in that lake


Inside the store is a TSA Precheck booth


We had an appointment


So we could do all of the background checking and biometric collecting here


The machine that does it all, finger printing, facial recognition, passport scanning.  In a few days we will be certified safe travelers
