Day 1 - Travel Day!


We made it to the airport bright and early.  The kids were excited and in great moods, even though we at the airport by 6:15.

 Our first flight went great.
 Killing time at playland at the MSP airport. 

 Our second flight was too long.  Parker was great for the first two hours, but the last hour and six minutes not so much.  Let's just say he was "that" kid on the plane.  You know....the one every parent hopes wont be there own:)  He was WAY over tired - which made for one CRANKY kiddo. 
 When we get off of the plane it was seventy-five degrees, sunny, and no wind. Gorgeous, a ninety degree difference from when we left less than ten hours earlier :)

We finally arrived and went to the resort.  We had a couple hours to kill so we played on the playground, explored, and waited to check in. 



 LOVE THIS PICTURE!
 That night we went out to eat at Joe's Crab Shack. It was so good.  The location is right in the marina so the view was great.



What a great first day.  The two hour time change was little hard to get used too, but whatever -  I was READY to get up at 3:30am when Parker decided he wanted to get up. More to come soon......

Just curious how Day 2, Day 3, and now Day 4 have gone? Too much vacation time tends to make you a slacker! LOL :) Just kidding Nikki.... enjoy your trip! I can't wait to see more pics and hear more about it! P.S. If you keep the kids busy enough, they will have no choice but to crash on the flight home!
