Our Adventure Begins!

Day 1- Friday, April 24th

This was the first day of our vacation and it started at 4:30 am! We got up and ready where my Dad dropped us off at the airport for our 8 am flight. This was Ethan and Ciara's first time on an airplane and they were so excited to be going in a real plane. For weeks Ethan has said that he wanted to be a pilot when he grows up. So they both sat by the windows and were enthralled with flying. They loved the seat belts, the snacks, the drinks, and even reading the instructional brochures in the pocket of the seats! The flight was 3 hours and 38 minutes, and it felt long!!!! But the kids did great and Ciara even slept for a good hour! As the plane landed Ethan said as loud as he could, "That was so awesome!" There are no pictures of the morning as it was very hectic to get to the airport, checked in, and all.

Then we were in Florida where you could feel the humidity the moment that you got off the plane. He got our rental car and headed to the condo. It was beautiful! We stayed in a place called Mystic Dunes and it was so nice. It had three pools to swim in, a big screen t.v, and a full kitchen. It was a great place to spend the week.



After a quick dinner and a little grocery shopping for breakfast and snacks we were off to the pool. The kids had so much fun swimming and playing, and the weather was so nice!




We then crashed for the night! We were all exhausted and excited to know that we were going to Disney World in the morning!
