A couple of weeks ago, we woke up super pumped to get on an airplane and leave for Orlando FL!!! But, this is way to much to write, so I will pick from the 2000+ pictures my dad and I took and tell that way. :)
We spent the night in a hotel in Omaha, because our flight left at 7:00 the next morning. Our grandparents were there too! The next morning we woke up and groggily ate breakfast and loaded onto the shuttle. We were very, very tired. Thankfully, the only thing lost the whole trip was my mother's cellular device. Even though that was a big deal at the time, she got my dad's old one and it all worked out. smile....
God blessed us with a very easy flight, nobody was fussy, had ear trouble or got sick... Every thing was a breeze!! My other family (Aunts, Uncle, Cousins) were all flying different airlines, but we all landed in Orlando within 20 minutes of each other. Talk about a serious whoa.....
PS: They really are not kidding when they say mini pretzels...
Neither me, Erna, Oggie or Squeakers had flown before and Bear and Dash really don't remember it, and all I have to say is it was sooooo cool. And very very pretty!
We had to transfer flights in Georgia and that went smoothly, and the rest of the ride to FL was quick!
We met up with our cousins in the FL airport and let me tell you.... It was a very happy reunion! My cousin Bears( Same nickname as our Bear) brought 4 lightsabers so our boys and Bears were happily cuttting off eachother arms and using the force to slam each other into the walls. :) Just kidding!
As you can imagine getting a group picture was impossible. literally impossible. But our group was a pretty good size.... We had rented to 7 passenger vans for our 17 people (that's including 8 carseats and luggage and 2 strollers) and thankfully, when we got there the shocked car renter person gave us a 15 passenger and a 7 passenger. We had room to spare! That really was a huge (literally) blessing. We would have had to make 2 trips and check into the resort and then manuver back to the airport to pick up the remaining troopers.....Jeepers. Thank goodness we didn't have to do that.
We made a quick dinner stop at Cici's! Yum, all you can eat pizza/pasta/soup/salad/desert buffet. I think we need one of these in our neck of the woods....
The resort we stayed at was great! There was plenty of room and a full kitchen which was nice.
Well, that's all for now, but here is a preview of what is next.....And I promise I will post again soon...
