We arrived at the airport around 4pm and when we got off a man was waiting there with a cart and he took us right to bag check. I was thankful for him because while we would have found our way eventually, we were too tired to do anything. haha We checked our luggage and got food for late lunch/early dinner.

Monday morning we were so drowsy. By we, I mean me and Jordan. I had gotten about roughly 13 hours of sleep in the past 3 days. I was shot, but I was excited! Dottie got right up! Lucas was a little groggy, but energetic as soon as we left the room. The night before when I ordered dinner, I had also ordered breakfast for the morning. Of course no one wanted what I got for them. MY breakfast was good! haha.

On this flight, I sat in the middle with Lucas, Jordan sat in the aisle seat, and Dottie sat in the window seat. It was now light outside and the kids were so excited. They both got a little restless on this flight and Lucas did a stent of crying for 5 minutes straight. yup.. we were those people. whoops. I finally got him to calm down after taking all of his clothes off and getting some chocolate out of our carry ons. He proceeded to be wild until about 10 minutes before we landed.

Saturday night we finished packing all we could pack around 11pm and we went to bed with an alarm set for 2:30am. 2:30 came in a blink and I hit the snooze button. Finally, we got up at 3am, got dressed and ready, and woke up the kids. Lucas was fussy because he was tired and just didn’t understand why we were waking him up. He always wakes himself up in the mornings so that was different for him. Dottie was a different story. She was up as soon as we reminded her where we were headed! We got them ready and we packed up final toiletries and sleep comforts for the kids.
