Kristen Bellmade “quite a home” at Boston Logan International Airport on Wednesday night.
TheGood Placeactress, 43, documented on Instagram how she, her husband, Dax Shepard, 48, and their daughters, Lincoln, 10, and Delta, 8, were “stranded” at the airport for 9 hours due to flight delays. The group made the best of a bad situation and even planned to camp out, before eventually being forced to leave.

As the delay stretched on and an unplanned overnight in the city became inevitable, however, they searched for lodging in the area. Unfortunately, theFrozenstar shared, “There were no hotels avail within 50 miles…”
Making the best of a true travel nightmare, the party set up camp in the terminal, creating makeshift beds across the seating area for the grown-ups and kids.
“We made quite a home for ourselves here,” Bell joked on a selfie showing her makeup-free and with a toothbrush in her mouth, having seemingly managed to do her nighttime routine in the airport bathroom.
Unfortunately, the group were then booted from the airport floor as well. “We wanted to stay but we were kicked out,” Bell wrote on another video showing the area strewn with blankets, numerous airplane neck pillows and snacks.
In his own Instagram video, Shepard revealed that the couple spent $600 altogether on the DIY beds and sleeping supplies.
“After 7 hours of delays, the flight was kicked to the next day all together. ZERO vacancies in the greater Boston area,” he wrote on the video.
The family made it to their impromptu beds at around 1 a.m. Bell thanked their hosts, John and Krista, for taking them in — and even leading them on a scenic hike the next morning.
Bell’s family wasn’t alone in their travel woes. Flight delays and cancellations have been spiking this summer due tosevere weather,extreme heatand staffing shortages at airlines and amongair traffic controllers. Air travel is also seeing a huge boon in the wake of the pandemic, leading torecord demand for flightsand large crowds at airports.
Bell and Shepard had a much more successful vacation earlier this month whenthey traveled to Swan Valley, Idaho, for a gathering with a slew of celebrity friends.
Among her Instagrams of the trip, Bell shared a shot of several celebrities posing together at a long dining table outside. The group gathered atSouth Fork Lodge, whichJimmy Kimmelreportedly bought in 2020, according toWSJ Magazineand theIdaho State Journal.
The celebrity sightings didn’t end there.The Tonight ShowhostJimmy Falloncould also be seen at the end of the table, waving hello, along with CNN’sJake Tapperand actor and writer,Tim Curcio.
Bell also posted a sweet selfie of Shepard kissing the top of her head with a stunning mountain sunset view in the background.
