We made it to Florida! We started out this morning early in Osceola. Mom picked up the dogs and we were on the road shortly after 8:00am. After picking up Jean, Cooper and McDonald's, we were on our way. The drive to Kansas City went smoothly- we didn't even have to stop for a bathroom break! Once we arrived at the parking lot we parked with ease and were able to get on a bus within a couple minutes. The bus took us to the terminal and we were able to check our bag quickly. The TSA line only had 2 people in it so we flew right through that, too!
Once in the terminal we were with a lot of people. I am happy that masks were still required in the airport because there were a lot of people in a very small space. When we got there Teddy said his belly didn't feel well and that he thought he was going to throw up. Jean got him an apple and I got him a muffin. That seemed to help his belly after we had to rush the dry-heaving boy to the bathroom. They were looking at something mechanical on the plane so we were delayed a short while--flight was supposed to be at noon and we took off at 12:40.
I sat in-between Teddy and Rocky and Thom, Jean and Cooper sat ahead of us. Tom took a later flight. The boys were AMAZING on the flight. They played their iPad and had a snack. Thom introduced Jean and Cooper to the game Dig and they enjoyed it.
When we arrived it was cloudy and looked like it was going to rain. As we got off the plane our stroller wasn't up yet, so Jean, Cooper, the boys and I went up the ramp while Thom waited for the stroller. This stroller we purchased before Teddy was born. We had said that it would probably be ruined within a year, but for only $25 it was going to be our stroller that we could beat up and take wherever we needed--we still have the stroller 4 years later. It has seen Boston, Florida numerous times, fairs, etc. The stroller was scheduled to continue on the plane to Puerto Rico and we thought we would be saying bye to it, but alas, it lives and made it back to us after people went under the plane to get it!
Once we got the stroller we headed toward baggage claim. Cooper and I waited for the bags while Jean and Thom got in line for vehicles. Due to lightning, there was a delay in getting the bags on the belt. By the time we got the bags Thom and Jean were next in line for cars. We got our vehicle and headed toward the grocery store.
We accidentally ran a toll. I'm not sure how people who are out of town get through the tolls when they are automated. We had cash and were ready to pay, but now they're electronic!
After grocery shopping we made it to the condo. We are next door to where we stayed in December and March. We ordered some UNOs pizza and enjoyed dinner before putting the boys to bed. I gave Jean a little tour of the property so she could see the pools but it was starting to get dark. We stayed up until Tom arrived at about 11:00pm. It was fun to have everyone at the condo and everyone is ready to swim tomorrow!
