Today at 4am the alarm went off and we (me, Charlie, the
boys, my mom and nephew) got up grabbed the last of the stuff we needed to pack
in the car and pulled out of the garage at 4:20am heading to Logan Airport to
catch our 7:25am flight to Orlando!
We made it with plenty of time to spare, met up with MIL,
and grabbed a quick bite to eat, unfortunately the Dunkin Donuts is outside of
security and since you cannot bring liquid through security, I had to settle
for a water and a yogurt at the little store.

Shaun and Evan killing time before boarding the plane |
It was time to board the plane. This was going to be interesting since this
was basically the first time flying for the boys, including my nephew. They were all babies the last time they flew
on a plane, even my nephew.

We had a
layover in DC, which ended up not being a layover since we were behind due to
some serious head winds. Thankfully they
held the plan for all 35 passengers that were moving onto Orlando! The flight from DC to Orlando was awful. I don’t think we stopped jerking from all the
turbulence the entire time. Thankfully
Evan fell asleep. Shaun didn't seem
fazed at all and poor David inherited my motion sickness. He didn't fare so well.
We landed in Orlando a little before noon time and finally
go off the plane, none of us were feeling so great between getting up so early
and the turbulent plane ride but we still had some time to kill before we could
check into the house. By the time we got
our bags and our rental van (which we changed to a beast 12 passenger, instead
of renting 2 cars because the guy gave us a discount at the counter) it was
2pm. We decided we would head straight
to the house in hopes that we would be able check in early. The owner had said it would be OK if the
cleaning company had finished. We drive
into the gated community where the house was located and got our parking pass.

Waiting for the rest of the bags |
It was 10 minutes to to 3 when we pulled up to the house and lucky for us the cleaning crew was just wrapping up! Thank goodness because we were all spent and starving! We had decided we would just chill at the house and order some takeout. The boys got a little time to spend in the pool before it was showers and bed. It had been a very long day, and we were going to be heading over to Universal Studios in the morning and we all needed our rest!

The boys couldn't wait to get into the pool! |

Full view of our very own pool! It's pretty awesome when you don't have to share! |
