Well I thought I'd begin my Vacation Blog Series. And I feel as though it must be a series or you'll never fully understand the extent of "There's Always Something" even on vacation.
So let's begin with the Vacation Planning and Preperation.
It all started over Christmas Break. We began looking at the Calendar and trying to figure out when we could go on our annual vacation to Florida to visit Mike's parents. Mike had roll over time that had to be used by March, His Masters work was beginning in Feb 10th, Snow was never ending and warmer climate and a get away was much needed, not to mention ticket prices seemed to be really cheep at the End of January, and the sneaky part was Sadie wouldn't be two until Feb 6th so we didn't have to purchase a ticket going down for her. (I know talk about tight).
So January 27- Feb 1oth became our vacation time TWO WEEKS!! WAHOO!!! We convinced my mom to meet us in Orlando For the second half of the vacation to celebrate hers and Sadie's birthday in Disney World. We worked it out that we would all stay with my Aunt, Uncle, and there 3 kids they live two seconds for Disney... not to mention my uncle works for Disney so lots of perks there.
We cleaned up the Christmas mess... I began going through summer clothes. We are so fortunate to have family that gives us hand-me downs. And of course the weight loss challenge began so I could get into my summer clothes. Naturally Mike lost the weight overnight reaching his goal before we left. I lost enough to wear my summer clothes comfortably but I of course didn't reach my goal. (Totally unfair) I do all the mental work for Mike. I make the meals, and do the food shopping to ensure temptation is not there and he loses it all and I'm still stuck 15lbs overweight.
So off we go! Our flight leaves at 9:55 and is scheduled to arrive at 1:30. The kids did GREAT on the plane. Sadie took a little cat nap and when we arrived we got all our bags and met Nana at baggage. Oh it was sooo exciting to be in warm sunny Florida (boy was that a tease). Well we stopped for lunch and then had another 1hour drive to nana and pop-pop's house. UGH was that the ride from you know where. I had hoped that Cam would nap in the car. (Of course he didn't he was way to excited) However HE DESPERATELY NEEDED TO NAP because he was sooooo cranky. I wont get into to many details, but he had to have toy taken away from him in the car and when I took it away he threw his Crock(shoe) at me... What a great start to our vacation!!! Making sure my children behave at Nana and Pop-pop's is always a little stressful clearly we got off to a good start!!
