What is 3 hours between friends?



Today is the big day. We are heading to Germany and we could not be more excited. Alexandra and Anthony stayed home with me while Daddy went to work for a few hours in the morning. Alexandra was all dressed with her book bag on about 5 hours before we were scheduled to leave Jacksonville. We all piled in the car around 2pm and we were off on our way to Orlando. We are flying Orlando Frankfurt direct, I might be crazy taking two small kids across the world but I am not trying to switch planes too. We arrived in Orlando as scheduled around 5pm, I parked the car and meet Daddy and the bags at the airport. Oma was soon to follow. We got in line to check in and after about 1 hour of waiting, we realized the flight was going to be delayed 3 hours due to the Volcano in Iceland.

Now we just played the waiting game in the airport. The plan was to keep the kids awake as long as possible so they would crash on the plane. Since we were taking off at 11pm instead of 8pm, I had my work cut out for me. We ate dinner at Outback and got on the plane around 11pm. Alexandra was so excited to see that each seat had it's own TV. She was really impressed. Anthony was a little over tired and was harder to get to sleep but Alexandra was no problem. You really can not keep her from sleeping, she loves her sleep.
