We've started our fun!

We're here! Yeah! The plane ride yesterday was interesting. The flight right before ours landed an hour late so we were an hour late getting off. Abby did great on the flight and was very interested in everything. She was easily entertained and very surprised that we were way above the clouds, even higher than the telephone poles. Grace on the other hand, was an entirely different story. The flight was right at her nap time so that was the first mistake. She was so tired and totally unable to find sleep. I was prepared to give her some benadryl to help her relax, but her doctor told me that benadryl complicates ear infections and since she just finished her medicine for an ear infection, I decided to not give the medicine. But, we will be giving it on the ride home. She was so antsy and it's hard to hold her still for two and a half hours on a plane. My parents were awesome and relieved me several times. Needless to say, I was so glad when the plane finally landed.

Then it was off to find our rental car. We're driving a black Chevy Malibu. I must admit, it's a pretty nice car! I'll post pictures of it soon. After a quick late dinner at McDonalds, both girls finally fell asleep in the car.

We found our hotel (Marriott Royal Palms) with no problems. It's a nice villa. We have two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Later this week I'll make a video of our place for all to see. My room has a queen size bed, a daybed for Abby and a crib for Grace. We're a little cramped, but it's really nice to have our own space. When we got here both girls woke up and then started running around the rooms like crazy girls. It was fun to see all their excitement. As you can imagine, it took a little while for us to find sleep, but it was welcome when it finally came.

When we woke up we remembered that there was no food in our villa, so we headed off to find a McDonalds, but ended up at a Dunkin Donuts. Abby was absolutely thrilled with a strawberry frosted sprinkled doughnut. You would have thought she won the jackpot and it was only a doughnut. It's so fun to make her happy. Now the girls are napping and then we're headed out to the grocery store for some food.

Ahhh....vacation is good.
