Fall Break: part 1

Early, very early, last Sunday morning, we backed out of the garage with 3 very awake and very happy children ... about to embark on a trip filled with lots of new adventures.



Why?  We were traveling with T's family to celebrate his parents' 45th wedding anniversary!  Yes, 45 years!! (And, W&J, if you are reading this, don't get mad at me for posting this picture!!  Love you both!!!)


After driving a little ways, our children got to experience their first trip in an airplane!  Included for their enjoyment was the 30 minute delay due to the coffee pot malfunction on our first plane - have I ever mentioned I don't care for coffee? ;-)






Spread out on 3 different flight schedules was our group of 26.  We were fortunate to travel with T's parents and appreciated the help they offered while traveling with three young children.  We thought it best that the kids learn at a young age that flying is a lot of "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!  And then, wait!"

With a layover in Atlanta, we reached our final flight destination of Orlando, Fl in the afternoon.  We boarded a bus covered with "Mouse ears" en route for our final destination. 




...more tomorrow!

Lovin' Q's new tooth! He's so cute!

I'm with you on the coffee on airplanes. It only makes you have to go and having to go only makes for getting stuck in the bathroom and thinking your are destined to die in that dark and little place. You are right, coffee should be banned from planes...as well as all liquids in my opinion. I prefer dehydration myself!
