Holiday

The story I was writing for ESL homework in 2010. The teacher did not check this but I wrote it down and edited some.
Holiday
We were planning to visit my husband's family in North Dakota from the 22nd until the 26th of December for Christmas. Everything was good at the airport and made me think that this trip would be smoother than the 2 years ago. We were at Minneapolis Airport about 1:30 pm. checked in and went to the gate to ask about our seats. The airline staff told us to wait for a while because they were doing management. We waited until almost boarding time and then they told us that our seats had been taken away. What?
They told us, our flight would not be available until next afternoon but we could not wait. They gave us other options and we chose a sooner flight to the closest place to our destination. They gave us discount coupons for tickets to be good for a year.
We needed to change our car rental pick up location, so we needed to use the internet. We noticed that there were not many internet stations because everyone had laptops. We agreed to get a laptop because it was necessary for the time like this.
We stayed in Minneapolis Airport from 1:30 to 10:00pm. and got to our new destination. We drove about 3 hours to our hotel. It was the same distance as our original destination but the time we were in the airport was very boring.
I was so happy in North Dakota this year because we did not have a snow storm and the sky was beautiful. My husband took me to his family's ranch and a dam where I want to take photos. We had a good time with his family and also I got many presents. I love Christmas.
On the day we were traveling back to Delaware, there was a problem again. Our flight from Minneapolis was cancelled and the airline told us that it would be 2 days until the schedule would be back to normal because of the weather. My husband was really frustrated. Finally, we changed to another destination but still had to stay one night in Minneapolis. We flew at 7am. and got to Pittsburgh at 10am. and then drove 7 hours to Philadelphia, picked up our car and drove back home safely.
