On route to Orlando!

An early early morning wake up to go to the airport. I think I was getting Henry out of bed at 3:50.  Unfortunately Rose woke up just after 1:00 for water or something and I never fell back to sleep.  Sleeping when excited is pretty much not possible for me. I decided to keep that piece of information to myself and try to be in the most cheerful mood possible.  It actually worked and I only started to feel really tired after dinner. 

Blankets and spring jackets

No problems wheeling their own suitcases. 

This year we had less luggage and 1 extra person.  The girls brought fewer books and toys and packed all of their clothes in their suitcases.

As per usual, we had no time to get breakfast or coffee before getting on the plane.  Really though, who wants to get up even earlier to have time to sit around in the airport.

I sat with all 3 kids.  Easier to feed Henry and let him sleep on me when not sitting beside a stranger. 

Paige has been on the plane more than 20 times.

It was great arriving in Orlando before 10am! By the time we got the rental car etc. and got on our way it was before lunch.  Unfortunately the plans of swimming and basking in the sun were thwarted by the rainy day, but we stopped at McDonalds for a lunch (I had a craving after that early wake up and lack of food on the plane!), and then went to the hotel and were able to check in early, which was a life saver! Being able to unpack and relax as well as grocery shop was fantastic.  I remember being insanely elated to be there.
