We have returned home safely from our very first family vacation! Last Friday, we departed to Orlando, FL. The kids have been getting ready for this trip since last summer and after this brutal winter, it was a much appreciated get-a-way!
At their age, the kids enjoyed the experience of flying almost as much as the vacation itself. Helaina was a big helper, carting her luggage around since we needed our extra hands to direct Zach.
We are so lucky to have the help of Teta and Seedy and all their airport privileges.
Seedy knows "the right people" and the kids had the opportunity of a lifetime to meet the Captain and Co-Captain of the pilot and get a few pointers in the cockpit of the plane! They will treasure their "wings" forever.
I thought they might nap on the ride down, however, I was sadly mistaken. We spent 2 1/2 hours trying to keep them entertained and for the most part, it was a success. After we arrived, we picked up a rental car, and drove another 2 1/2 hours down to West Palm Beach to stay three nights with Randy's grandma at her condo.
Randy has been swimming in this pool with his grandparents and family for over 20 years. I know he truly enjoyed showing us where he vacationed as a kid and now being able to see his kids have the same experience. The weather was fabulous, in the 80's and mostly sunny. The nights were cooler, but as long as we got a good dose of the sun during the day, it was the perfect mix.

We took Sitty out to eat to celebrate her upcoming 79th birthday.
