Florida Vacation... Heading Home
Saturday morning we awoke and started the task of packing up for a day of travel. When we got to the airport, I had fun talking to the kids about all their favorite moments from the week.
We also had some less-than-shining moments that day, considering we forgot Carson's Nuk somewhere (probably at the last hotel), our connecting flight was delayed by four hours, and we ended up flying after nap time instead of during. But, we survived :)
The kids were a little emotional talking about the week, and it was kind of sweet. Cooper and Izzy both talked about how much they were going to miss Florida. We talked several times about why in the world we could not stay on vacation (I still, to this day, don't think they buy into my reasons!), and how fun it will be the next time we come back.
Carson got a nice long nap at the airport, and Izzy conked out on the second flight. Easy peasy.

That flight out of Orlando was the only one of the trip that we were not seated within arms' reach of each other. Izzy and Grandma sat together, and ended up next to an off-duty flight attendant who had fun talking to Izzy. She even gave Izzy the Southwest heart pin right off her scarf, and gave her three pairs of 'wings' so she could share with her brothers.
These pics are out of order, but it shows Carson feeling like a big shot in his very own seat. Our final flight was not full, so he got the full experience! Having napped at the airport, we were all happy he had the extra space!
Words can only attempt to describe the amazing week it was. We feel incredibly blessed to have had the chance to take this trip. The memories we made are priceless! Seeing and hearing the kids be so genuinely excited about every little thing, thinking of their smiles and their shrieks of happiness, and watching them get along so perfectly well made my week perfect. We are already thinking of how we can save to go on another vacation!!
